HLTH 2003: Social Determinants of Health<\/strong>
Renate Ysseldyk
In the Department of Health Sciences, an examination of health inequities within and across communities is vital to students’ holistic understanding of health. HLTH 2003 provides an overview of the “causes of the causes” of health inequities for students to apply toward promoting cultural competence and social justice in their communities and beyond.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n

HLTH 2003 truly opened my eyes to many of the challenges in health, and overall changed my perspective on the Canadian healthcare system.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

HIST 2811: Public History from Memory to Museums<\/strong>
David Dean
HIST 2811 students working on site at the National Capital Commission, Winter 2019
focused on the ways history, memory, and heritage play a vital role in the social, political, economic, and cultural lives of contemporary society, public history emphasizes the value of publicly engaged research and participatory history-making. HIST 2811 encourages students to explore innovative ways of \u201cwriting\u201d the past, especially \u201coff the page,” and students work in small teams with community partners to create new histories in accessible and visible ways.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n

Since taking HIST 2811, I have thought about and used history in ways that did not appear to me prior. Being able to contextualize history, while making it publicly accessible (visually, tactically, audibly) is a skill that has and will continue to further my academic and professional careers.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

WGST 2801: Activism, Feminism, and Social Justice<\/strong>
Manjeet Birk
At the Institute of Women\u2019s and Gender Studies, students learn to not only theorize about communities but also to actively participate in their communities. Community engagement is not a formulaic prescription and as a result we discuss the complicated intersectional dynamics of power and helping. Through hands on learning using multidisciplinary approaches, students learn what it means to engage with feminists and activists and consider what are the practical and systemic challenges of social change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IDES 2600: Human Factors\/Ergonomics in Design<\/strong>
Chantal Trudel
In the field of design, developing an appreciation and knowledge of people\u2019s abilities, limitations, perspectives and attitudes within a variety of contexts is central to supporting the health of individuals and our communities. This approach applies to product design, human computer interaction, interior design and architecture, as well as the design of work, systems or services. Through experiential learning activities working with real people outside the classroom setting, IDES 2600 introduces students to the broad range of physical and psychosocial factors which may influence people\u2019s experiences and quality of life. The course brings attention to the importance of considering diversity among people and their contexts. The course also emphasizes the value of consulting with a variety of representative stakeholders throughout the design process to inform development and to foster the movement toward responsible design.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n

Love the course, it opened my eyes to a lot of the small things that I take for granted.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

SOCI 4170: Community Engaged Sociology<\/strong>
Deborah Conners
In the Department of Sociology and Anthropology, theories and experiences of community engagement are central to student understanding of the dynamics of power, social justice and social change. SOCI 4170 provides an opportunity for students to find their passion for social justice work as they engage in small teams with community-based organizations to research social issues and advocate for positive change.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n

To be able to give back into a community while learning from the experience was so enriching to not only my skillset but also my character.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
