New College

Introduction

New College courses have in common a commitment to be explorative and inventive and to widen students’ experience by critically examining relationships among academic disciplines. These courses take their place within such well-defined programs as Women’s Studies, Equity Studies, Humanism, African Studies, and Caribbean Studies. These programs co-ordinated by New College are open to all students in the University.

Integration of student experience is a major concern in a college with students from all faculties in the University. The Independent Studies courses provide an opportunity for students to design their own programs and to test their analytic, synthetic, and creative skills by writing a thesis.

The African Studies Program

(Specialist, Major, Minor) offers opportunities to study Africa through a selection of courses devoted to African history, society and culture. The core courses are drawn from anthropology, history, literature and political science.

The Caribbean Studies Program

(Specialist, Major, Minor) consists of courses in Caribbean history, literature and thought that deal with issues including gender, religion, politics, culture, ethnicity, race, development, language, colonialism and regional common markets.

The Equity Studies Program

(Major) is an interdisciplinary program that examines various models - historically and culturally specific - for conceptualizing social inequities and for bringing about equity. It draws together discourses on equity from the humanities, social sciences and sciences.

The Human Biology Programs*

offer a broad education in life sciences with courses offered by departments in both the Faculties of Arts and Science, and Medicine.
*Specialist: (1) Genes, Genetics and Biotechnology; (2) Health and Disease; (3) Human Behavioural Biology. Major: Life Sciences (See Life Sciences section of the Calendar.)

The Humanism Program

(Minor) provides an opportunity for undergraduates studying different subjects to read, discuss and examine critically a wide historical and culture range of primary sources by major authors whose ideas underlie current preoccupations in the sciences, philosophy, literature, religion and law.

The South Asian Studies Program

(Specialist, Major, Minor) provides the opportunity for students to study traditional and modern South Asia. The history and culture of India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka are presented in courses offered by a number of departments.

The Women’s Studies Program

(Specialist, Major, Minor) offers a wide variety of courses in a rapidly developing and intellectually fertile field. Courses cover such issues as the representation and social organization of sexual differences, women and health, gender issues in law, women in world cultures, women and issues of international development and the history of feminism.
