COURSE DETAILS:

POL349 – Thèmes choisis en relations internationales : Les instruments internationaux de protection des minorités linguistiques

Ce cours propose de passer en revue des instruments internationaux de protection des minorités linguistiques. Pourquoi ces outils sont-ils développés? Que proposent-ils pour protéger les minorités linguistiques? Comment sont-ils utilisés par les minorités linguistiques? La première partie du cours sera consacrée aux instruments et aux contextes dans lesquels ils s’inscrivent. La deuxième partie du cours sera consacrée à des groupes minoritaires linguistiques qui utilisent ces outils dans leurs mobilisations.

À la fin de ce cours, vous pourrez 

  • Expliquer pourquoi les droits linguistiques ont été intégrés à la réflexion sur les droits humains;
  • Analyser le contenu d’instruments internationaux de protection des minorités linguistiques;

  • Appliquer les connaissances acquises dans le cas canadien.

Ce cours se déroule en format hybride: une séance synchrone d'une heure en plus de leçons asynchrones à chaque semaine

L'examen maison sera expliqué lors du dernier cours et il devra être rendu au plus tard le 15 avril 2021 à 11h59.

ACADEMIC INTEGRITY: YOUR WORK, YOUR SUCCESS

SFU’s Academic Integrity web site http://www.sfu.ca/students/academicintegrity.html is filled with information on what is meant by academic dishonesty, where you can find resources to help with your studies and the consequences of cheating.  Check out the site for more information and videos that help explain the issues in plain English.

Each student is responsible for his or her conduct as it affects the University community.  Academic dishonesty, in whatever form, is ultimately destructive of the values of the University. Furthermore, it is unfair and discouraging to the majority of students who pursue their studies honestly. Scholarly integrity is required of all members of the University. http://www.sfu.ca/policies/gazette/student/s10-01.html

TEACHING AT SFU IN SPRING 2021

Teaching at SFU in spring 2021 will be conducted primarily through remote methods. There will be in-person course components in a few exceptional cases where this is fundamental to the educational goals of the course. Such course components will be clearly identified at registration, as will course components that will be “live” (synchronous) vs. at your own pace (asynchronous). Enrollment acknowledges that remote study may entail different modes of learning, interaction with your instructor, and ways of getting feedback on your work than may be the case for in-person classes. To ensure you can access all course materials, we recommend you have access to a computer with a microphone and camera, and the internet. In some cases your instructor may use Zoom or other means requiring a camera and microphone to invigilate exams. If proctoring software will be used, this will be confirmed in the first week of class.

Students with hidden or visible disabilities who believe they may need class or exam accommodations, including in the current context of remote learning, are encouraged to register with the SFU Centre for Accessible Learning (caladmin@sfu.ca or 778-782-3112).
