The courses offered at Innis College are integral to three academic programs:
Cinema Studies; Urban Studies; Writing and Rhetoric.
Cinema Studies
Cinema Studies treats film primarily as a unique and powerful art
form with its own traditions, history, conventions, and techniques. Understanding
film, its properties, methods, aesthetics, and its impact on culture
and society, is the basis of Cinema Studies. The Program 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.
Further details are available
on the Cinema Studies website [www.utoronto.ca/cinema].

Urban Studies
Urban Studies at Innis College provides students with the tools to
make sense of their urban world. The Program examines the complex
and dynamic
relations among 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 either a municipal politician,
non-profit
research group, or other government organization as part of its
experiential learning program. Because urban issues are so
varied, Urban Studies
combines well with many other Subject POSt 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.

DiFrancesco, Ph.D., M.C.I.P., R.P.P. (difrance@geog.utoronto.ca).

Urban Studies website at www.utoronto.ca/innis/urban.
Writing
and Rhetoric
The Minor Program in Writing and Rhetoric is built on a foundation
of Innis College courses that cover academic essay writing,
rhetoric, critical
thinking,
creative writing, media analysis, and writing in the workplace.
The Program also draws on relevant University of Toronto courses
in
a range of disciplines.
The Programs
design reflects three interrelated themes.
Writing:
This discipline involves more than instruction in composition
skills. Writing is related to rhetoric, logic, reasoning, and
critical
thinking. One of
the main goals of the Program is to ensure that students graduate
with a solid
grounding in various modes of writing and with highly developed
transferable skills.
Rhetoric:
Classical rhetorical terms and methods of argumentation and
persuasion are central to the study of rhetoric. One of the
oldest disciplines
in the liberal
arts, rhetoric as a contemporary discipline focuses on the
influence of discourse on social forces. For the purposes
of this Program,
rhetoric will, broadly
speaking, be used to signify both rhetoric in the classical
sense of the
term and the patterns of communication identifiable in a
variety of disciplines and environments.
Critical Analysis:
One of the tenets of the Program is shared by many of the
Universitys
Arts and Science disciplines: that problem-solving
and creative, persuasive, and effective writing depend
on the
ability to analyze discourse critically.
