Beginning with archaic Homo sapiens and ending with a discussion of how diet exists in a modern globalized cash economy, this course engages an archaeological perspective on changes in human diet and corresponding societal shifts. We will explore paradigmatic discourse around topics such as big game hunting, diet breadth, niche construction, and the Agricultural Revolution, while examining the archaeological record to clarify what "cavemen" really ate, inquire whether agriculture was as "revolutionary" as it has been presented, and delve into evidence of how colonialism, capitalism, and globalization have shaped our modern diet. Discussions will aim to interrogate current theories and contextualize why scientists (and the public) think the way they do about diet in the past and present.

HISC71H3: Race and Caste: A Connected History

Using the methods of intellectual history, this course explores the connected histories of two distinct systems of social oppression: caste and race. While caste is understood to be a peculiarly South Asian historical formation, race is identified as foundational to Atlantic slavery. Yet ideas about race and caste have intersected with each other historically from the early modern period through the course of European colonialism. How might we understand those connections and why is it important to do so? How has the colonial and modern governance of society, economy and sexuality relied on caste and race while keeping those categories resolutely apart? How have Black and Oppressed caste intellectuals and sociologists insisted on thinking race and caste together? We will explore these questions by examining primary texts and essays and the debates they provoked among thinkers from Latin America, the Caribbean, the American South, South Africa, and South Asia.

HISD69H3: Sufis and Desert Fathers: Mysticism in Late Antiquity and Early Islam

This course is an introduction to mystical/ascetic beliefs and practices in late antiquity and early Islam. Often taken as an offshoot of or alternative to “orthodox” representations of Christianity and Islam, mysticism provides a unique look into the ways in which these religions were experienced by its adherents on a more popular, often non-scholarly, “unorthodox” basis throughout centuries. In this class we will examine mysticism in late antiquity and early Islam through the literature, arts, music, and dance that it inspired.

The first half of the term will be devoted to the historical study of mysticism, its origins, its most well-known early practitioners, and the phases of its institutionalization in early Christianity and early Islam; the second part will look into the beliefs and practices of mystics, the literature they produced, the popular expressions of religion they generated, and their effects in the modern world. This study of mysticism will also provide a window for contemporary students of religion to examine the devotional practices of unprivileged members of the late antiquity religious communities, women and slaves in particular.

HISD73H3: Engendering Canadian Food History

This course explores Canada's diverse food cultures and the varied relationships that Canadians have had historically with food practices in the context of family, community, region, and nation and with reference to transnational connections and identities. It examines Canada's foodways - the practices and traditions associated with food and food preparation - through the gendered lens of Indigenous-colonial relations, migration and diaspora, family, politics, nutrition, and popular culture. The course is organized around two central principles. One is that just as Canada's rich past resists any singular narrative, there is no such thing as a singular Canadian food tradition. The other is that a focus on questions related to women and gender further illuminate the complex relationship between food and cultural politics, variously defined. The course covers a broad time-span, from early contact between European settlers and First Nations through the end of the twentieth century.

HLTD81H3: Health Professions Education

The quality of our health care system is dependent on initial and ongoing education supporting our health professionals. In response to ongoing and new challenges in health care, governments and institutions respond with novel ideas of enacting health care in improved ways. Health care institutions, policy makers, and the public have expectations of highly skilled, knowledgeable, and prepared individuals. As our understanding of health and health systems change, these expectations also change. Keeping up is in part the work of health professions education. Preparing individuals for these dynamic, complex, in some cases unpredictable, and everchanging health care service demands is necessary and complex. In this course, we explore the role and governance, structure, and contemporary multidisciplinary scientific advances of initial and continuing health professions education as a means of supporting the practice and quality of health care. We also explore the future of health professions and how health professions education is working to keep up.

IDSC13H3: State Formation and the Politics of Development in the Global South: Explaining Divergent Outcomes

The state has proven to be one of the key factors paving the way for some countries in the Global South to escape conditions of underdevelopment and launch successful development programs over time. But, why have effective states emerged in some countries in the Global South and not in others? This course seeks to answer this question by investigating processes of "state formation" using a comparative historical approach.

The course will begin by introducing students to theories of state formation. These theories will raise important questions about state formation processes that include: What is a modern, "rational-legal" state in theory? What do states look like in practice? What is state capacity and what are its components? What is the infrastructural power of the state and how does it differ from the despotic power of a state? How do state efforts to extend infrastructural power ignite political battles for social control at both elite and popular sector levels of society? Finally, how do processes of state formation unfold over time? The course, then, dives into comparative examinations of state formation using examples from across the Global South – from Central and South America to Africa, the Middle East, South Asia, and East Asia.

MUZC81H3: Issues in Popular Music: Heritage, Preservation & Archives

Popular music, especially local music, are cultural artifacts that shape local communities and the navigation of culturally hybrid identities. Music is also a significant technology of “remembering in everyday life,” a storehouse of our memories. In this course we examine acts of popular music preservation and consider questions such as: what happens when museums house popular music exhibitions? Who has the authority to narrate popular music, and how does popular music become a site of cultural heritage? Throughout this course, we will work with a notion of “heritage” as an act that brings the past into conversation with the present and can powerfully operate to bring people together while simultaneously excluding others or strategically forgetting. We will spend time with bottom-up heritage projects and community archives to better understand how memory is becoming democratized beyond large cultural institutions. As more and more cultural heritage becomes digitally born, new possibilities and new risks emerge for the preservation of popular music cultures.

PSYC31H3: Neuropsychological Assessment

The clinical practice of neuropsychological assessment is an applied science that is concerned with the behavioural expression of personality, emotional, somatic and, or brain dysfunction with an emphasis on how diversity (e.g., cultural, racial, gender, sexuality, class, religion, other aspects of identity and the intersections among these), can further mediate this relationship. The clinical neuropsychologist uses standardized tests to objectively describe the breadth, severity and veracity of emotional, cognitive, behavioral and intellectual functioning. Inferences are made on the basis of accumulated research. The clinical neuropsychologist interprets every aspect of the examination (both quantitative and qualitative components) to ascertain the relative emotional, cognitive, behavioural and intellectual strengths and weaknesses of a patient with suspected or known (neuro)psychopathology. Findings from a neuropsychological examination can be used to make diagnoses, inform rehabilitation strategies, and direct various aspects of patient care. In this course, we will comprehensively explore the science and applied practice of neuropsychological assessment.
