Canadian and World Studies

What is the Canadian and World Studies Department?

The Canadian and World Studies program will empower students to become responsible, informed and active citizens within the diverse communities to which they belong. Our courses promote:

  • An interdisciplinary lens and encourage students to think critically about current issues and historic events. 
  • Social justice lens to examine marginalized groups in society.
  • An Afrocentric focus to understand systemic racism and oppression.
  • Reading, writing and research skills to ensure students are ready for post secondary education. 
  • Use of technological tools to gather, analyze and communicate information.
