Faculty of Liberal Arts & Professional Studies

Department of Equity Studies

ANNUAL REPORT 2010/2011

INTRODUCTION The Department of Equity Studies (DES) which began on July 1, 2009, is a culmination of four decades of faculty research and scholarly work around social justice, multiculturalism and equity. Building on these strengths, our faculty takes an ethical stance in exploring the social world through the pursuit of human rights, social justice, social responsibility and equity. In doing so, it begins with an acknowledgement of injustices and inequities in society, including an analysis of the impact of poverty, the denial of basic human rights, racism, cultural domination and other forms of marginalization. The department has a strong commitment to Diaspora communities, Human Rights, Globalization and Migration, Indigenous thought, language, history and culture, and Social inclusion within a Critical Race framework. Within our programs, the department welcomes diversity and a wide range of intellectual perspectives Through an integrated approach, DES offers a learning environment that values cultural diversity and supports social equality. We welcome students and provide them with an understanding of the social environments that shape their interests, opportunities, and identities. Students gain a solid and critical grounding in research methods and theories in ways that allow them to link their education with various types of degrees and certificates. Particular attention is devoted to providing students with critical research skills and intellectual rigour. Student engagement is at the centre of all our decisions and planning. Many of our students go on to do graduate work in the areas of equity and rights.

Our Faculty is committed to delivering academic programs of the highest quality in our Degree programs. We currently have degree programs in Human Rights and Equity Studies; Race, Ethnicity and Indigeneity as well as a joint degree in Social Science with the Department of Social Science. This degree is structured in five streams designated as (1) Social Theory, (2) Economy and Society, (3) Equity and Social Policy, (4) Equity and Culture, and (5) Health, Work, and Society. DES also offers certificates that encourage students to develop an integrated understanding of current events, locally and globally. There is an ongoing engagement with our community in collaborative research activities, local and international conferences. Our founding symposium “Individual Liberty vs. State Security: Human Rights & Collective Punishment in Canada” highlights Department of Equity Studies’ commitment to rights, social accountability and scholarly research. DES is outward looking in our teaching, and contributes to the global discourse in equity issues.
