Who Runs Canada? Government, Rights, and Resistance

Course description

Through the lens of intersectionality, this course examines the structure and function of government in Canada. The Constitution, federalism, the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, the electoral system, and political participation are all used to frame a critical review of Canada's role in global sustainability, socio-economic interdependence, and decolonization. Regionalism, cleavages, and disadvantage are core themes further explored through dialogue, gamification, and a critical analysis of current event topics, which have included Indigenous rights, gender identity, Residential Schools, and structural racism.
