MULTIDISCIPLINARY STUDIES / GENERAL EDUCATION 2014-2015 MULTIDISCIPLINARY STUDIES / GENERAL EDUCATION 2014-2015 ABOUT OUR PROGRAM OUR PROFESSORS & INSTRUCTORS The Department of Multidisciplinary Studies (MDS) at Glendon enables students to pursue bilingual degree programs which go beyond traditional departmental disciplinary boundaries. At present, there are two formalized programs within MDS: Drama Studies, and Environmental and Health Studies. In addition to the two formalized areas of specialization, students have the option of pursuing an Individualized Program of Study. Whatever the particular program chosen, MDS affords students an educational process which combines intellectual rigour with the pleasure of discovery and an enthusiasm for approaching academic matters in a creative and challenging fashion.

MULTIDISCIPLINARY STUDIES / GENERAL EDUCATION 2014-2015 MULTIDISCIPLINARY STUDIES / GENERAL EDUCATION 2014-2015 WHY STUDY INDIVIDUALIZED STUDIES? WHAT CAN YOU DO WITH AN INDIVIDUALIZED STUDIES DEGREE? Students who major or minor in multidisciplinary studies may (in consultation with the department Chair) construct programs of their own that draw on the courses and resources of the various departments of Glendon (including, of course, multidisciplinary studies itself). Some of the most successful areas of concentration in recent years have been comparative literature, medieval and Renaissance studies, religious studies, social and political thought, 19 th century studies, and language and society. Whatever the particular program chosen, MDS affords students an education process which combines intellectual rigour with the pleasure of discovery and an enthusiasm for approaching academic matters in a creative and challenging fashion. The Individualized Studies is suitable as a pre-professional program preparing students for faculties of law and education, as well as for work in communication, administration, government, and the corporate world. At the same time, this program can also prepare students for graduate studies in related fields. The Department of Multidisciplinary Studies offers students the opportunity to engage their intellectual curiosity by drawing upon a variety of academic resources. It is worth noting that one does not create a multidisciplinary approach merely by juxtaposing individual courses from two or more disciplines. Rather, what is sought is a true integration or synthesis of methodologies and knowledge from separate academic areas to create a program of study which is at once critical and innovative. PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS For detailed program requirements, please refer to the Undergraduate Calendar applicable to your year of entry. Should you wish to pursue an Individualized Program of Study, 1. Please submit in writing to the Chair of MDS: a) the proposed area of your choice specifying its multidisciplinary aspects b) the courses from the Undergraduate Calendar (Glendon) you feel would constitute the core/related courses for your chosen program of study. However, in order to determine which courses are being offered in the current academic year, please consult the Course Timetable, while keeping in mind the Degree Requirements. Your list of courses will need to be updated each year. 2. Request an appointment with the Chairperson of the Department to discuss and obtain approval of your program. Please note that at Glendon it is not possible to specialize in Humanities or in Social Sciences. Students must define a specific Individualized Studies according to the procedures outlined here. 9 10
MULTIDISCIPLINARY STUDIES / GENERAL EDUCATION 2014-2015 MULTIDISCIPLINARY STUDIES / GENERAL EDUCATION 2014-2015 INDIVIDUAL STUDIES / HONOURS THESIS GUIDELINES An Individual Studies or Honours Thesis permits students to create and pursue a course of their own devising. Individual studies courses may be taken at the 3000 or 4000 level. Students in Multidisciplinary Studies also have the option of doing an independent reading and/or research course, which will be taken at the third or fourth year level under the guidance of one full-time member of the faculty. Please note: All Individual Studies courses in Multidisciplinary Studies are subject to specific regulations which the Office of Multidisciplinary Studies will supply upon request. Students must consult with the department before registering in these courses. Since there is no assurance that a proposed project will be accepted, the student is urged to enroll in an alternative course in addition to the proposed Reading Courses until a decision is made concerning his/her proposal. COURSES TAKEN ELSEWHERE AT YORK Glendon students may take courses at other York faculties to fulfill either their General Education requirements or their MDS degree requirements with permission of the Department. The York University Senate regulation stipulates that a student must take at least half the total number of credits required for his/her major at his/her home faculty. GENERAL EDUCATION The Multidisciplinary Studies Department has a two-fold undergraduate responsibility. First, it is a degree granting department with majors and minors. Second, the department houses the four divisions of General Education: Humanities, Modes of Reasoning, Natural Science and Social Science. Humanities courses generally combine the subject matter and methodologies of at least two of the "humane" disciplines taught at Glendon: Literature, Philosophy, and History. Social Science courses do the same for the "social sciences": Economics, Linguistics, Psychology, Sociology, and also History. Natural Science courses draw from the physical and biological sciences; our courses often demonstrate the interrelationship of science and other disciplines, and some of them focus specifically on the history or philosophy or social context of science. Modes of Reasoning focuses principally on the forms of reasoning and inquiry, on deductive and inductive logic. It invites reflection on these forms of thought and investigates their interconnections. Courses at 1000 and 2000 level offer an introduction to university studies and to the interrelatedness of the disciplines through the study of particular problems or time periods. Courses at the 3000 and 4000 level enable students to relate their course work in their discipline/specialization to course work in related fields. Every student at Glendon must complete before graduating the equivalent of at least one full course in three of the four General Education divisions: Humanities, Modes of Reasoning, Natural Sciences, and Social Sciences. By taking courses in three of the four available areas, students have the opportunity to explore methods and problems in a range of fields and disciplines thus developing flexibility and breadth. The General Education requirement is designed within the bilingual liberal arts curriculum of Glendon to provide balance and enrichment to studies in the student's chosen discipline or disciplines. Please note that a General Education course crosslisted as a departmental course may be used to satisfy both the General Education and the departmental requirement. 11 12

HUMA 1690 6.00 (FR) INTRODUCTION À LA PHILOSOPHIE : LES GRANDS PENSEURS Ce cours cherche à mettre en évidence les fondements philosophiques de la pensée occidentale par l étude d œuvres marquantes. Le choix des textes au programme vise plusieurs buts à la fois : Initier les étudiants à l histoire de la philosophie occidentale; les sensibiliser en même temps, aux problèmes philosophiques et aux solutions classiques qui y ont été apportées ; mettre ainsi en lumière les sources et les présuppositions de nos propres façons de penser (autant en science qu en morale ou en politique) et mettre aussi en lumière, plus particulièrement, les rapports qu ont entretenus la philosophie et les sciences auxquelles elle a donné naissance. En plus d une certaine dose de culture générale, les étudiants devraient en principe obtenir ainsi des repères leur permettant de mieux se situer dans leur milieu culturel et de mieux apprécier la place qu ils occupent dans le monde d aujourd hui. Textes : Platon : Ménon (Garnier-Flammarion) ; Aristote : Physique et Métaphysique (Choix de textes.

It deals with epistemology (the nature and scope of human knowledge); metaphysics (categories of being; freedom and fatalism); and philosophy of mind (personal identity, knowledge of other minds). Cross-listed with HUMA and PHIL; administered by PHIL HUMA 2615 3.00 (EN) MORAL QUESTIONS AND SOCIAL POLICIES The issues to be discussed: 1) the use of race in social policy, 2) justice and the abolition of punishment and 3) justice and gender. 1. Discrimination and Reverse Discrimination. Many people agree that the past practices in education, hiring, and housing were morally wrong because they were racially discriminatory, because they used race as a basis for denying equality of treatment to blacks, people of colour, and aboriginals. Does it follow that using race as a criterion is always wrong? Are Canadian practices, for example, which permit special voting privileges to aboriginals discriminatory?
2. Understanding Justice and the Abolition of Punishment. Two of the main justifications for punishment will be reviewed: the retributive theory, in which people get what they deserve, and the deterrent theory, in which deterrence is thought to justify punishment. The idea that justice must be restorative and reconciliatory underlies proposals which would abolish conventional punishment. We will examine this idea, using as a focus the South African Truth and Reconciliation Commission. 3. Women and the Quality of Life: Justice and Gender. We will discuss what is meant by the quality of life and what is required in terms of social policy for improving it, and whether there are gendered norms for the assessment of women s quality of life. Because people s desires can be limited and warped through deprivation, the criterion of utility or satisfaction is problematic; second, issues of tradition and cultural relativity must be resolved in order to determine whose beliefs and judgements should be the source of the measures to be used by policy-makers.
