AP/HREQ 3125 6.00 Equity and Social Policy In this stream, students are engaged in the study of equity, human rights, and social justice issues. It includes discussion of policy, programs, and practices in such areas as government and the economy. These issues are examined historically in Canadian and international contexts.

Equity and Culture In this stream, students are engaged in the study of equity and social justice as they affect different cultures. Issues of gender, war and peace, migration and refugees, and citizenship are examined critically. AP/HREQ 3890 6.00 Note: race, ethnicity and indigeneity double majors are excluded from this stream. Health, Work and Society: Canadian and Global Perspectives In this stream, students have the opportunity to study the social determinants of work and health as well as the social impact of policies and institutions related to work and health.
