Woodsworth ONE offers students a unique, fully integrated first-year experience that provides an intellectually challenging introduction to university-level studies and builds students’ sense of community within Woodsworth College and the University of Toronto as a whole.  It is designed not to stand alone, but to complement and connect all the other first year courses students are taking, enhancing success in the entire first year and beyond by promoting the development of strong critical thinking, information literacy, oral and written communication skills, and awareness of both the distinctive nature of particular academic disciplines and the practices and values common to all academic work.

Students take two interdisciplinary half-credit seminars, one in each term, built around annual themes or topics that are explored using a variety of perspectives, theories, and methods.  Seminars are capped at 25 students to maximize opportunities for participation and to promote close contact with both the instructor and fellow students.  Regularly timetabled hours for co-curricular activities play a crucial role, supplementing the seminars with a wide range of special activities including student leadership events, guest lectures, field trips and other forms of experiential learning, academic skills support, and community-building time.

To support students in choosing their other courses, building coherent timetables, and eventually selecting appropriate programs and areas of study for second year, Woodsworth ONE features special academic advising both at the time of enrolment and throughout first year.  As much as possible, students are placed in Woodsworth ONE sections with students taking other first year courses in common, and they are also placed in the same tutorial sections in those other courses; in this way, Woodsworth ONE connects and integrates all of the first year experience.

The Woodsworth One Program is geared towards first-year students enrolled in Social Sciences and Humanities within the Faculty of Arts and Sciences. In keeping with Woodworth College¹s tradition of open access, there is no incoming grade requirement.  Applicants must submit a brief statement explaining their interest in Woodsworth ONE.

Students participating in any other One program are excluded from Woodsworth ONE.

The 199Y1 and 199H1 seminars are designed to provide entering first-year students with the opportunity to work closely with an instructor in a class of no more than twenty-four students.  Each Seminar focuses on specific disciplinary or interdisciplinary issues, questions or controversies of particular interest to the instructor, and introduces the students to the excitement of discovery inherent in academic work at the University of Toronto. In addition, students are encouraged to develop their ability to think analytically and to express ideas and logical arguments clearly and coherently, both orally and in writing.

Prepare yourself for a future in the global village by participating in a Summer Abroad program and complete a University of Toronto course overseas in three to six weeks. These programs are designed to enrich students’ academic lives by providing an exciting and educational international experience.  Your learning will not be limited to the classroom; you will observe and experience many of the things you study, including the language, history, culture, art, religion, business, and politics of the host country.

The list of summer offerings is published every January.  The curent schedule is available here.

Criminology incorporates theory, research methods, and knowledge from a wide range of other disciplines such as history, political science, philosophy, sociology, psychology, law and economics. The program provides students with a sound foundation for the understanding of crime and the administration of justice in Canada and abroad, and, more generally, the processes of social order and disorder.  Most students combine their studies in Criminology with programs in Political Science, Psychology or Sociology.

People with backgrounds in Criminology  are found working in Correctional Services, Law Enforcement, Courts and other settings.  A  career in the Criminology field requires additional education and experience beyond the undergraduate level.  A comprehensive career information page is available on the Criminology website.

The overarching goal of the undergraduate program in Employment Relations is to offer an interdisciplinary learning opportunity in which to study the employment relationship in a Canadian and global context from the perspectives of economics, history, law, management, political science and sociology.  The program provides students with a theoretical background and knowledge of current developments in the labour field that will serve as a basis for careers in employment relations and human resources, such as a Human Resources Generalist, Recruitment Specialist, Employment Equity Officer, Training and Development Consultant, Corporate Trainer, and Labour Relations Specialist.

Students are advised to make use of the Career Centre's resources and activities in order to investigate career options in Employment Relations.    In addition, students are encouraged to explore the services offered by the Human Resources Professionals Association (HRPA) which is Canada’s HR thought leader and the largest HR association in the country.   In Ontario, HRPA regulates the HR profession and issues the Certified Human Resources Professional (CHRP) designation, the national standard for excellence in human resources management. For more information please visit www.hrpa.ca.  All of the course work requirements needed for CHRP are offered in the Employment Relations program.

Woodsworth ONE
Criminology
Employment Relations
Independent Study & Research Participation 
Summer Abroad 

Societies require law and order, but at what point does order become oppression?  How do we balance our need for freedom and society’s need for order?  This interdisciplinary seminar allows students to explore these and related questions through selected readings introducing theories from sociology, political science, philosophy, and history.

Building on the questions and theoretical perspectives discussed in WDW151H1, this interdisciplinary seminar introduces students to some of the methods used by scholars and researchers in sociology, political science, philosophy, and history to develop, test, and debate possible solutions to the problems of social order and disorder.     

An introduction to the study of crime and criminal behaviour. The concept of crime, the process of law formation, and the academic domain of criminology. Theories of crime causation, methodologies used by criminologists, and the complex relationship between crime, the media and modern politics. 

An introduction to the Canadian criminal justice system. The institutions established by government to respond to crime and control it; how they operate, and the larger function they serve; including the role of the police, the trial process, courts and juries, sentencing, imprisonment and community corrections.

The course covers several major issues that will help prepare students for advanced courses in the criminology major:  the meaning of law, the production of laws and legal institutions, law in action, comparative legal traditions, and the methodology of socio-legal studies.

The main principles and themes of Canadian criminal law; legal definitions of crime, requirements of a criminal act (actus reus), criminal intention (mens rea), causation and defences. The origins, goals and functioning of criminal law, and limits on the power of the state to criminalize behaviour.

A survey of the evolution of normative theories of criminal justice, which examines how major theorists from the Enlightenment to the contemporary period have understood the normative justification for criminal prohibition and punishment.  Although the course focuses on western political philosophy and social science, there will also be some attention to theories of criminal justice in selected non-western traditions. 

The main principles and themes of Canadian criminal procedure, and the role of state officials and institutions in investigating and prosecuting crime. Doctrinal and statutory frameworks governing the administration and enforcement of criminal law in Canada, and the role of constitutional rights in the criminal process.

A theoretical framework is developed to examine the nature of policing, its structure and function. Attention is given to the history of policing and to its public and private forms. An examination of the objectives and domain, as well as the strategies, powers, and authority of contemporary policing; including decision-making, wrong-doing, accountability, and the decentralization of policing.

The study of punishment from historical and philosophical perspectives, with a focus on contemporary Canadian policy issues. Topics covered include penal theory, prisons and non-carceral forms of punishment, and the goals of penal reform.

Criminal justice issues outside Canada, based on a variety of international and historical studies. The evolution of criminal justice systems in Western Europe, including the English adversarial and continental European inquisitorial approaches. A comparison of policing, criminal procedure, forms of punishment, and crime rates in the contemporary world.

An introduction to social science research methods used by criminologists. An understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of published criminological research is developed. Specific technical issues such as sampling and measurement are taught in the context of examining alternative ways of answering research questions.

Legal, psychological and sociological understandings of issues in the criminal justice system, through a consideration of topics including: criminal intent, the insanity defence, the concept of psychopathy, the use of battered woman syndrome as part of a self-defence, issues of transcultural psychiatry, and jury screening for bias.

The course will examine what is known about offending by youths and the various purposes that have been attributed to youth justice systems.  The course will focus, in large part, however, on the nature of the laws and youth justice systems that have been designed in Canada and elsewhere to respond to offending by youths.

Theory, research and policy related to the ways in which gender shapes criminal behaviour, the administration of criminal justice, and the criminal law. How notions of different types of masculinity and femininity are embedded in and influence both the operation of the criminal justice system as well as criminal behaviours. The regulation of gender and sexuality through the criminal law and through crime.

The connection between immigration and crime, the effect of immigration on crime rates, discrimination against immigrants, the representation of immigrants in crime statistics, public perception of risk and security, and criminal justice policy changes which affect immigration. We consider research conducted in Canada, the United States, Germany and the Netherlands.

Cultural constructions of crime, disorder, dangerousness and risk are integral parts of the criminal justice system. A critical analysis of how police, crown attorneys, judges and the media construct their authority through symbols and images, in order to “explain” and manage crime, and how these representations are regarded in public discourse.

Moral regulation through criminal law, and the role of legal texts and procedures in promoting certain values while marginalizing others. The decriminalization of homosexuality and abortion, the censorship of pornography, the key role of administrative law mechanisms, and the transformation from direct to indirect forms of regulation.

Topics vary from year to year, but the objective of the course is to explore emerging issues in Criminology, and their social, legal, ethical and political implications.
