Where IS-3901 counts

Counts toward 2 more as one option among several, not as a course you must take:

  • IS 3-YEAR BA IN INDIGENOUS STUDIES
  • IS 4-YEAR BA IN INDIGENOUS STUDIES

Read from the departments' own calendar pages, where 71 of 141 programs are only partly machine-readable, so treat these as a minimum rather than the full list. Confirm with an academic advisor.

Description

In this course, readings and assignments in the area of Indigenous Studies are arranged between an individual student and the instructor. Topics may not duplicate regular course offerings in Indigenous Studies or other departments. This course is an opportunity to explore a specialized topic in the interdisciplinary context of the field. Examples of potential topics include comparing Canadian and New Zealand/Aotearoa treaty rights efforts; analyzing artistic forms of Indigenous political resistance; exploring health implications of indigeneity in settler societies; and ethnohistorical research on early Winnipeg Aboriginal community organizations.

Requisite courses

IS-1016 (or HIST-1009) and IS-1017 (or the former IS-1015) and permission of the instructor [prerequisite(s)].
