INI INNIS COLLEGEOn this page: Introduction | Faculty Members | Programs | Courses See also: Course Summer Timetable | Course Winter Timetable | Secondary School Information | More on Department IntroductionMost 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 122, Innis College (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 BA 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. Beginning in the 1998-99 academic year, selected departments will be offering explicit environmental minor programs (contact the Division of the Environment for details). Students are advised to consult with the Program Counsellor about combining programs when enroling in the Innis program. The Innis programs examine and address environmental issues and problems from the perspective of a number of different fields and kinds of knowledge. They provide students with a comprehensive understanding of current environmental challenges, stressing the conceptual frameworks, analytical tools, methods, and approaches that are used to address them. Graduates of the programs are prepared for employment as professional practitioners or for further study at the graduate level. Foundation and core courses emphasize the complex nature of real-life environmental problems and solutions, as well as their historical, cultural, and scientific roots. Environmental Studies staff and students work with environmental professionals to develop new research directions, innovative policies and active programs to deal with specific issues. Environmental Studies gives graduates the practical research, rigorous analytical, presentation, coordination, and management skills that lead to thinking creatively and critically about environmental problems and to contributing to their solution through development and implementation of policies and practices. Report writing and oral presentations receive special attention. Further details are available on the Environmental Studies website [http://www.utoronto.ca/envstudy/]. Enquiries: Room 124, Innis College (978-7023). 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 1998-99.) Urban Studies recognizes that the majority of the world's population will live in cities by the beginning of the 21st century. Understanding the implications of this development can be best achieved through a combination of interdisciplinary studies and field work, two key components of the Innis programs. Metropolitan Toronto, named by Fortune magazine as the "the world's newest great city," provides the laboratory for the field work. The programs are designed to be taken on their own or combined with another major program, e.g. Sociology, Political Science, Anthropology, Environmental Studies, Geography, Criminology.
