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.

This course will introduce students to concepts, theories, and a range of issues in the sociology of race and ethnic relations.

Throughout the semester, we will deal with sociological issues pertaining to race and racism, institutional or structural racism, and the barriers and opportunities confronting ethnic groups in Canada, with special interest in Blacks and Aboriginal Canadians.

AST-2090: Modern Korean Politics and International Relations
Course Description
This course will examine the politics of the Korean peninsula from the 1950s until the present, with a particular focus on the domestic politics of South Korea and its international relations. In the 1953, South Korea was a war-ravaged and impoverished nation, with limited international relations and an authoritarian government. Today, it is known for its cultural products, stable democracy, and economic prowess. At the same time, Korea remains divided and tense, and strong regional powers threaten to engulf the peninsula in potential future conflicts. How did Korea arrive at this moment? This course will explore this question by delving into the domestic and international politics of South Korea. The first half of the course will mainly look at the politics of authoritarianism and democratization from the 1950s until the present by exploring issues such as the establishment of two separate states, military government, the democratization movement, and contemporary South Korean politics. The second half of the course will examine South Korea’s relationship with international powers such as the US, Japan, China, and of course, North Korea.
