COURSE DETAILS:

You may have heard it said that SFU was (or is) a “Radical Campus.” Where does that idea come from? This course zooms in on the period 1960-1980 to trace the emergence of SFU and its purported radicalisms. While we center SFU, we do so in order to access the histories of the larger student, women’s, labour, antiwar, Indigenous, and other movements on campus and beyond. We will do this by heading to SFU Archives and SFU Library and doing original research. You will also meet and hear from guest speakers who were there. Together, we will ask and investigate the question: whatever happened to the ‘radical campus’?

Registrar Notes:

ACADEMIC INTEGRITY: YOUR WORK, YOUR SUCCESS

SFU’s Academic Integrity website 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
