The course will examine the historical development and philosophical foundations of human rights, critique the effectiveness of legal, diplomatic and political frameworks designed to protect human rights, and explore the ways in which different groups have understood and fought for expanded rights protection throughout history.

This course applies historical methods and ethical reasoning to analysing current events. The class identifies a current public policy issue about which to pursue historical research. 

This course will examine the formative issues that shaped the Latin American Colonial worlds. Relations between ethnicities, genders and classes will be explored to trace the creation of Latin American cultures as African, Indigenous and Europeans came together with explosive force.

This course explores the long historical development of human rights discourses, advocacy, and abuses in Latin America. It focuses upon the struggle for justice for, and by, Indigenous and African populations from contact to the authoritarianism and institutionalized human rights violations of the 20th century.

This new course will explore how Canadians have thought about rights throughout history with a close examination of specific rights campaigns in 20th century Canadian history. 

This new course examines the intersections of gender, violence, and digital media from a variety of theoretical and critical perspectives. We explore how emerging media impact gendered violence and how gender shapes both media representations of violence and digital media design.

Focusing on health equity and the social determinants of health, this new course explores the development, implementation, and outcomes of health policy in Canada. Working with community-based partners, students will identify the most pressing physical and mental health concerns experienced by Canadians and how they can be addressed through policy change.

This new course will provide an overview of the theoretical and methodological approaches used in the Sociology of Mental Health, with a focus on the social conditions that influence mental health over the life course, and the experience of stress, coping, and recovery.

The main focus in this course is to understand the roles of science and technology in broader societal context as well as the influences of social, cultural and environmental factors on the practices and uses of science and technology.

This course offers an intensive examination of the major critical methodologies relevant to the academic study of literature. Students will learn to appreciate the multiform and dialogic nature of imaginative literature, understanding how literary texts can say more than one thing.
