Equity Studies
The interdisciplinary program in equity studies allows students to examine various models historically and culturally specific - for conceptualizing inequities and for bringing about equity. It draws together discourses on equity from the humanities, social sciences and sciences and is designed to encourage students to draw connections between different forms of social inequality which otherwise might be studies in isolation. The major program requires the completion of the core course, NEW 240Y (Introduction to Equity Studies) plus six other courses drawn from a wide range of disciplines including aboriginal studies, anthropology, history, philosophy, political science and sociology. Students in the equity studies program are encouraged to pursue a complementary focus in another discipline. The Equity Studies Student Union (ESSU) is a vibrant and active student group whose members work throughout the year to provide extra-curricular events that will complement students' inclass education. The ESSU can be reached by calling 416-946-7689. For Equity Studies program requirements see New College Programs in the Faculty of Arts and Science Calendar.
