By engaging with ideas rooted in critical social science and humanities, and emphasising the work of Canadian scholars, students learn strategies for studying societal problems using a postpositivist paradigm. Students learn theoretical and applied skills in activities inside and outside the classroom to emerge with new understandings about the social studies of health and society. This is an advanced and intensive reading and writing course where students learn to think about research in the space between subjectivity and objectivity.
