Introduction

Most of the courses offered at Innis College are integral to the three programs based in the College: Cinema Studies, Environmental Studies, and Urban Studies. Other courses are designed to improve academic and creative writing skills and to broaden the understanding of English prose style.

Cinema Studies treats film primarily as a unique and powerful twentieth century art with its own traditions, history, conventions and techniques. Understanding film, its properties, methods, and aesthetics, as well as its impact on culture and society, is the basis of Cinema Studies. It provides a wide variety of approaches: the history and development of cinema; film theory and critical analysis; the study of genres, national cinemas, and the works of individual masters of cinema; and the examination of film in relation to other arts and academic fields.

Enquiries: Room 123, Innis College (416-978-5809).

Environmental Studies is designed to be taken on its own, or in combination with either a BSc program (e.g., Biology, Geology, or Chemistry) or another B.A. program (e.g., Geography, Political Science, or Economics). However, a major or minor program in Environmental Studies cannot be combined with a major or minor program in Environment and Society offered by the Division of the Environment. It is strongly recommended that students give serious consideration to combining one of the Innis Environmental Studies programs with another program (contact the Division of the Environment for details about departmental environmental minors). Students are advised to consult with the Program Counsellor about combining programs when enroling in the Innis program.

The Innis Environmental programs provide our students with a unique combination of rigorous training in the academic and practical skills essential to work in the environmental field, as well as exposure to the people and organizations active in environmental work in Canada. We utilize an applied interdisciplinary approach, and focus on the understanding, development and implementation of progressive environmental policy and practice. Our curriculum has been carefully designed to educate students in a range of topical issues, including environmental policy, health, and sustainable cities, and to train them in acquiring the research, analytical, critical thinking, organizational, group and presentation skills they will need to succeed in any of these fields. Each course carefully builds on the skills developed in the previous courses in the program. Small class sizes and accessible faculty enhance opportunities for intellectual growth. Core program courses incorporate innovative multi-media modules. The programs are designed to complement training in a broad range of traditional disciplines.

Program instructors are all leaders in environmental work in Canada, teaching at Innis while engaged in academic research and professional practice. They bring their diverse experience and knowledge into the classroom for the benefit of their students. Guests with particular expertise from outside organizations enhance lectures in all our courses.

Assignments involve research activities and information sources outside the university and all students enrolled in our major or specialist programs work directly with an off-campus organization in the final-year environmental research seminar and/or professional experience course. Two environmental projects associated with the Program offer diverse volunteer and employment opportunities to ESP students and recent graduates

The contacts our students develop during their enrolment in the Environmental Studies Program at Innis College have enabled many of our graduates to obtain rewarding employment in all sectors of the environmental field. Our many graduates who have gone on to pursue post-graduate studies in the environmental field, report that our program has prepared them very well for the new challenges they face in masters and doctoral studies. Further details are available on the Environmental Studies website [http://www.utoronto.ca/envstudy/].

Interfaculty Combination: Environmental Studies and International Development Studies is a program for students enroled in the Faculty of Arts and Science on the St. George campus wishing to pursue a Specialist or Major program in Environmental Studies at Innis College in conjunction with a Major program in International Development Studies at Scarborough College, or for students enroled at Scarborough College wishing to pursue a Specialist program in International Development Studies at Scarborough College in conjunction with a Major program in Environmental Studies at Innis College (for the latter option, Scarborough students should consult the University of Toronto at Scarborough Calendar for 2002-03)

Urban Studies at Innis provides students with the tools to make sense of their urban world. The program examines the complex and dynamic relations between institutions, people and physical form that create, sustain or destroy cities.

The program is suited for those students who wish to study cities using several disciplinary approaches. It is also of interest to those students who wish to become involved in urban issues in Toronto. The program offers an internship in the office of a municipal politician as part of its third-year course and extensive field research in the fourth-year seminar.

Because urban issues are so varied, a major in Urban Studies combines well with majors in many other areas. Students are advised to consult the Program Director when designing programs that meet their particular interests.

The program encourages students to take advantage of the Study Elsewhere Program at the University of Toronto to broaden their knowledge of cities.
