    Course Spotlight: TOUR/GEOG 2P36: Human Rights, Geography and Development

    ASY – ASYNCHRONOUS ONLINE

    In today’s tumultuous times, how does the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights protect human rights in Canada and around the world — and is it enough? How do natural disasters, artificial intelligence, and the rise of exclusionism affect human rights?

    • Explore rights and equity issues in development, mobility, displacement and the environment.
    • Examine how current events affect civil and political rights in different geographic environments.
    • Develop critical thinking skills, which are invaluable for your future career, such as analyzing the links between human rights, news, and social media.

    Restrictions: minimum of 4.0 overall credits or permission of the instructor.

    This course may also be of interest to students in Political Science, Sociology, Business, Education, Psychology and History.
