Description

CALENDAR DESCRIPTION:

A survey of major themes in Canadian social history from the arrival of Europeans to the present day. Particular attention will be paid to the effects of gender, race and class on the experience of Canadians over time. Breadth-Humanities.

COURSE DETAILS:

Also described as “history from below,” social history examines the lives of people outside the political, social, and economic elite. This survey course will explore case studies of the lives of women, Indigenous people, the working class, and racial minority groups. We will see how people navigated changing urban and rural societies, formed families, worked, and played in what is now Canada. Along the way, we will consider how different types of primary sources show historians the contours of everyday people’s everyday lives, and how these stories can enrich our understanding of the past.

Registrar Notes:

SFU’s Academic Integrity web site http://students.sfu.ca/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
