What is humanity's relationship to nature? Are humans natural beings, or uniquely free? How does the scientific revolution change humanity's relationship to nature? Modern science and technology have undoubtedly made life easier, but have there been costs? By studying works of natural science-ancient and modern-philosophy, literature, and theology we will explore various historical perspectives on "nature" and consider the consequences - both good and bad - of our technologically mediated lives. Fulfills Group C Requirement.(SEST)

That love and friendship are essential to human flourishing is self-evidently true. As Aristotle said, "no one would choose to live without friends (philoi) even if he had all the other goods" (Ethics, 1155a5). For many of us, love and friendship are near constant preoccupations. But what is love? Is it a passion, an activity, a god? Is love rational? Does love make us selfish or selfless? And what do we owe to our friends? These are some of the questions we examine in this course.

To do philosophy is to reflect critically on our underlying beliefs (e.g., about reality, knowledge, freedom, responsibility) and to modify whatever doesn't stand up to scrutiny. Whether we realize it or not, the very way we think is shaped by past thinkers -- which is why studying philosophy's history is a crucial part of doing philosophy.  In this course, we will focus on Modern and Contemporary thinkers as we strive to evaluate our views critically.  This course has no prerequisite.

Should we have sex with robots? Is it okay to use a robot prostitute? Can we force them to serve us or use them in warfare? And what about animals-do they have rights?

Through the examination of contemporary issues impacting our social worlds, including issues related to identities, inequalities, social structures and institutions, mobilities and others, students will develop the skills to use their sociological imaginations and become aware of the "promise of sociology." By learning to apply a sociological lens to social issues and everyday life students discover how the discipline creates new ways of seeing the world - ones that work to disrupt common-sense understandings and the individualization of social problems. This course will provide students with skills to critically engage with today's issues and a better understanding of our complex and changing social worlds. Prerequisite: SOCI 1003. (Credit will not be given for both SOCI 1023 and SOCI 1006).

This course explores how sociologists gather evidence about social patterns and evaluate theoretical explanations of social life. Students learn to turn concepts such as inequality, institutions, culture, and health into measurable indicators, select methods like qualitative interviews, focus groups, ethnography, surveys, and secondary data analysis, and evaluate claims based on validity, reliability, sampling, and reasoning. The focus is on connecting sociological theory with methods, understanding the strengths and limitations of different approaches, and designing ethics-based studies to investigate social processes.

This course explores existing patterns of social inequality and debates concerning the possibility and desirability of greater equality. Taking a theoretical and historical focus, this course examines the changing nature of inequality in contemporary Canadian society in the context of globalization. Throughout, we develop our understanding of how different forms of inequality - particularly social class, gender and race - intersect. One section of the course may have a service learning requirement, where students engage in volunteer work in the community, and then reflect upon their experiences through reading, writing, and discussion.

The various perspectives used by sociologists to examine social problems will be described and evaluated. Concrete social problems will be used as examples of these perspectives.

This course unpacks issues associated with sport in North America. Students are asked to critically engage with sport practices as they intersect various social phenomena including identity, nationalism, the body, colonialism, and the family. Students examine how power operates through the practices associated with sport and consider the potential, and consequences, of using sport for social change.

This course focuses on particular aspects of the social processes that shape, and are shaped by female and male social roles such as gender and power, gender and social structures of work, and feminist social movements.

A study of contemporary developments in sociological theory, focusing on major trends, their interrelationships, and controversies. Prerequisite: SOCI 2033.

This course applies statistics to explore sociological and population-related questions. Students learn to describe and compare populations and assess evidence using appropriate statistical methods. Key topics include data quality and measurement, tabular and graphical representation, distributions, rates and ratios, sampling and weighting, confidence intervals and hypothesis testing, and measures of association for categorical and continuous variables. Through hands-on labs using publicly available Canadian datasets, students develop transferable skills such as data cleaning, measurement, sampling and weighting, multivariable modelling, and reproducible coding practices, which are highly valued in research, policy, and analytic roles. Prerequisites: SOCI 1006 or 1013 and 1203 AND SOCI 2013. (Cannot receive credit for this course and SOCI 2023).

In this course, students examine the social production of masculinities in North America and the impacts of these gender expressions on the lives of boys and men, and people of all genders. Students are introduced to theoretical perspectives used to understand the lives of men and boys, while examining topics such as fathering, the social construction of men's bodies, the ways the media (re)produces notions of masculinity, and sports masculinities.

This course explores the interaction between society and the body. It begins with an examination of classical and contemporary theories of the body, and then explores special issues with regard to the development of the civilized body, as well as gender, sexuality, marginalization, deviancy, chronic illness and disability.

This course explores the social construction of disease in modern medicine. We will examine the process of medicalization, focusing on the classification of human experience into disease categories; medical authority to diagnose and treat disease; the ways in which disease categories validate or invalidate experiences of illness; and the effects of being labeled as diseased. These topics are explored through sociological analyses of specific diseases, including diseases that are contested and stigmatized.

The senior seminar is a one-semester course, required for a Major degree in sociology, which is to be taken in the final year of study. The course is organized around substantive issues, with different sections devoted to different topics. The issues are addressed as puzzles or lines of inquiry that explore current concerns. Students are expected to bring the knowledge they have acquired of the competing traditions of sociological inquiry to bear on the theme. This course will be conducted as a seminar, with students taking responsibility for researching, presenting, and discussing material. Regular attendance and active participation will be emphasized. Enrolment limited to approximately 15 students in each section.

This course is the continuation of Intermediate Grammar I or its equivalent. It begins with a review of the indicative mood and then moves on to coverage of the subjunctive mood. This course will stress conversation, oral exercises, and oral presentations. Written assignments will improve the accuracy of the grammatical structures learned in the oral part of the course. Plays will sometimes be used as a part of the learning language process.

This course follows on from SPAN 2113 and continues the cultural study methods that were introduced in first term. Emphasis is again placed on reading and writing assignments. Written Spanish is developed through cultural readings drawn from selected Latin American texts. The course contains a basic research component and students will be encouraged to select and develop their own research interests.

Students will develop their reading and analyses skills by on in-depth reading of selected Latin American texts and in addition, they will improve their oral fluency studying the rhythms of Latin American poetry. Oral and written expositions on specific topics which arise from their textual analyses will reinforce the accuracy of the use of Spanish language in all its forms.

This course is a continuation of Advanced Grammar I. As in the first course, this one also aims to build on the knowledge and communicative skills that students have previously acquired with regards to the subjunctive tense. During the course of the semester, in-class activities will emphasize the practice of the past subjunctive tenses. Some structural exercises and reading activities will be used; however, the course is based on communicative activities and projects that will reinforce grammar acquisition.

This course offers an overview of the contemporary Spanish American short story through the discussion and analysis of some of its most representative literary texts. We will study the evolution of the short story as a literary genre from its first manifestations in Latin America towards the end of the nineteenth century until the present, paying particular attention to the themes, stylistic and technical features, and literary and historical contexts that help give life to each text.

This is the introductory course to the interdisciplinary field of Women's Studies and Gender Studies. The basis of femininity, masculinity and women's inequality are examined in the context of wider social relations, including the historical subject, literary voice and the women's movement.
