The courses offered at Innis College are integral to The Cinema Studies Institute and two academic programs: Urban Studies and Writing and Rhetoric. Cinema Studies The Cinema Studies Institute 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 Institute 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]. Enquiries: Undergraduate Program Assistant, Deborah Ohab, room 122, Innis College (416-978-8571), cinema.studies@utoronto.ca. 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. Enquiries: Director of Urban Studies, Professor Richard J. DiFrancesco, Ph.D., M.C.I.P., R.P.P. (difrance@geog.utoronto.ca). Also see the 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 Program’s design reflects three interrelated themes.
