SOCD08H3: Scarborough Place-Making: Indigenous Sovereignty and Settler Landholding
This course explores how the land where UTSC stands has been transformed, with a focus on settler colonialism and Indigenous self-determination. By looking at the history and ongoing impacts of settler practices and Indigenous knowledge systems, students will learn about the conflicts and connections between these ways of understanding the land. The course includes guided walks across different sites on campus as part of a hands-on, land-based learning approach, helping students see and experience how these issues play out in the environment around them. This course has been designated a Research Skills Course.
Priority will be given to students enrolled in the Specialist, Major and Minor programs in Sociology, including the Critical Migration Studies Minor. Additional students will be admitted as space permits.
