EMERGENCY POSTING Sessional Instructor: ABP102Y1S Diversity and Social Justice in Canada

Background:

Woodsworth College is committed to promoting accessibility and equity, and our core mission is to provide "the best educational experience for a diverse student body."  The Millie Rotman Shime Academic Bridging Program is an access program offered by Woodsworth College that provides opportunity for students who do not meet the academic requirements for admission to the University of Toronto to qualify for admission to an Honours Bachelor of Arts (HBA) or Honours Bachelor of Science (HBSc) degree program in the Faculty of Arts & Science. The program is designed for mature learners, and bridges the gap between prior formal education and the skills necessary for first-year university courses. As a low-barrier program for learners who have been away from studies for two or more years, classes are rich with diversity and life experience.

 

Course description: ABP102Y1S Diversity and Social Justice in Canada
