COURSE DESCRIPTIONS
INTR-3003. Experiential Community-Based Internship
This course applies theory and academic content to real-world experiences within the classroom, community, and the workplace. The course advances Course-Based Learning (CBL) outcomes that are specifically focused on transferable employability skills. Students participate in community-based internships and reflect on how their learning and skill development can be applied in other worksites and beyond the classroom.
INTR-3036. Imagining Interdisciplinary Research
This advanced, workshop-style course explores interdisciplinarity and interdisciplinary research. Interdisciplinary research involves the combination of perspectives from a variety of disciplines into a new exploratory and analytical framework that is more than the sum of its individual parts. Many of the most pressing challenges facing our society, and indeed the world, require different scholarly perspectives to achieve complex goals. At its best, interdisciplinary research not only yields new and important insights, but also feeds back productively into disciplinary frameworks. Prerequisite: Completion of at least 60 credits of coursework.
INTR-4003. Interdisciplinary Honours Workshop
This course provides both interdisciplinary and discipline-based Honours students with the opportunity to share thesis chapter drafts in a research writing workshop context. Participants will reflect on questions, themes and issues arising during the process of researching and writing the thesis.
INTR-4016. Interdisciplinary Honours Thesis
The student, in consultation with her or his Advisory Committee, will submit a thesis proposal to the Interdisciplinary Steering Committee by the end of the third year of studies. The honours thesis is written in the fourth year of studies with guidance from the student's Programme Director.
