This course focuses on some of the fundamental assumptions and questions in contemporary psychology. It begins with a discussion of psychological methods as forms of social practice, and the resulting product/knowledge of these practices as situated within a socio-historical context. We then discuss the importance of metaphor, and language in general, for psychological description and explanation, and the historicity this language displays. These issues lead to a review of the most foundational challenge to contemporary psychology: its reception of and reaction to postmodernism. This includes readings and discussion on social constructionist thought, feminist epistemologies, critical psychology, hermeneutics, and qualitative (vs. quantitative) research. The last portion of the course is devoted to student seminars, where students select a topic from class discussion and develop a presentation.

In this course, we will engage with selected works on human life and inhabitance from a diverse group of philosophers, ancient and contemporary, European, Asian and Indigenous. We will also explore some musical, narrative and film expressions of these themes.

Our focus throughout will be on exploring different understandings of what is important in human life, and what it is to live well on this earth ... particularly in the face of the growing global problems of poverty and inequality, exploitation, colonization, environmental degradation, alienation from nature and community decline that not only surround us, but seem to be the very premises upon which the earth’s affluent societies have been built.

In mid-June, we will engage with the thought and experiences of some Island inhabitants who have dedicated their lives and work to answering these questions within their own lives. Students will do a two-class field placement – a mini-apprenticeship – with some of these individuals, with the possibility of writing or filming a short documentary about what they have learned about their site supervisor’s philosophy of life and inhabitance, and what they have learned from working with them.

The culmination of the course will be a reflection journal written by each student on how their own thoughts about inhabitance have developed with each reading and from their field placement. The reflection journal can be drawn from the bii-weekly Discussion Forum posts that are part of the course. There will be one mid-term exam to encourage steadily engaged reading of the course resources.

The 2025 election was yet another reminder on the pivotal role elections and political parties play in our democratic life. Heading into January, the incumbent Liberal Party was on the verge of being wiped out by a Conservative Party - who led public opinion polling by double digits for close to two years - only for a leadership change and external events to completely upend predictions. The election also saw the weakening of the NDP and other Third Parties generally, as the electorate settled into two near equally divided camps, something not seen since the 1950s.

This course unpacks elections like 2025’s and how political parties in Canada organize to compete for power. The first part of the course focuses on the historical context on the rise of political parties in Canada and the three principal federalist parties that contest federal elections today: Liberal, Conservative, and New Democratic. The second part of the course takes a thematic approach, examining party leaders, how and why candidates are selected, societal representation in parties, political communications, electoral reform, voting behaviour and foreign interference. By the end of the course student will have a firm grounding in the key debates concerning modern Canadian elections and political parties.

In this course, students will focus on the integration of assessment, the nursing process, and applied theory in primary health care management of individuals across the lifespan who are who are experiencing acute or acute on chronic health alterations. Students use concepts from nursing, nutrition, pharmacology, and biopsychosocial sciences to determine the most appropriate and cost effective tests, interventions, and/or pharmaceutical regimes to optimize health and wellness.

The course provides a clinical learning experience that assists the nurse practitioner (NP) student with integration and application of assessment and management skills utilizing a collaborative model of primary health care practice.  Relevant conceptual and theoretical frameworks as well as the teaching-coaching role of the NP in primary health care management are integrated in class discussions. The student will become increasingly independent in their clinical decision-making skills and ability to manage select health concerns across the lifespan in a primary health care practice setting.  Documentation will be completed in the problem oriented format to facilitate organization of the client data.
