| Description | This course provides students with the opportunity to learn about the unique histories and experiences of diverse Black communities in Canada. Through an anti-racism lens, students will analyze both historical and contemporary manifestations of race and racism experienced by Black communities in Canada. Students will learn about the impacts of racial oppression, discrimination, and bias as part of a broader understanding of systemic inequality reinforced by the system. Collectively, students will examine how inequities have developed within Canadian institutions such as education, immigration, healthcare, employment, and the media. By taking this course, students will develop a critical awareness and build capacity as global citizens to advocate for change with knowledge of how to recognize, challenge, reject and recreate new narratives in Canadian society that build on Black excellence and contribute to the well-being of diverse Black communities in Canada.
