New Programs
Program #1 ERMIN1333 South Asian Studies (Arts) - Minor
4.0 credits, including at least 1.0 300+ level credit.
Students wishing to complete a South Asian Studies Minor Program must successfully
complete 4.0 credits in at least two distinct disciplines: History (HIS), Religion
(RLG), Women and Gender Studies (WGS), or Diaspora and Transnational Studies (DTS)
within the Department of Historical Studies, Political Science (POL), Language
Studies (LAN), Visual Studies (VCC, CIN, FAH), Sociology (SOC), and Anthropology
(ANT).
The following U of T Mississauga courses can be taken to complete the requirements
for a Minor in South Asian Studies.
Group A: Core Courses
ANT316H5; CIN302H5; DTS201H5; FAH385H5; HIN212Y5, 312Y5; HIS282H5, 382H5, 386H5,
394H5, 484H5; POL303Y, 304Y5, 446H5; PRS210Y5, 310Y5; RLG205H5, 204H5, 206H5,
208H5, 360H5, 307H5, 308H5, 310H5, 304H5, 371H5, 347H5, 348H5, 373H5, 374H5, 356H5,
449H5, 460H5; SAN291Y5, 392Y5; VCC306H5, 406H5, 360H5.
Group B: Secondary Courses

course and appropriateness for the student’s program. Please check with the
relevant department.
ARA211Y5, 212Y5, 312Y5, 412Y5; HIS366H5, 493H5; RLG305H5, 370H5, 451Y5, 452H5,
450H5, 470H5; SOC354H5, 375H5; WGS368H5, 335H5.

Programs - Resource Implications
Program #1 ERMAJ0382 Classical Civilization (Arts)
Resource implications: No resource implications.
Program #2 ERMAJ0728 Canadian Studies (Arts)
Resource implications: None.
Program #3 ERMAJ1249 Language Teaching and Learning: Italian (Arts)
Resource implications: None.
Program #4 ERMAJ1407 Diaspora and Transnational Studies (Arts)
Resource implications: No resource implications.
Program #5 ERMAJ1443 Women and Gender Studies (Arts)
Resource implications: No resource implications.
Program #6 ERMAJ1645 English (Arts)
Resource implications: None. Both courses, ENG201Y5 and ENG202Y5, are already offered every year and both have room for growth
without added cost.
Program #7 ERMAJ1850 Linguistic Studies (Arts)
Resource implications: None.
Program #8 ERMIN0506 Linguistic Studies (Arts)
Resource implications: None.
Program #9 ERMIN0728 Canadian Studies (Arts)
Resource implications: None.
Program #10 ERMIN1200 English Language Linguistics (Arts)
Resource implications: None.
Program #11 ERMIN1333 South Asian Studies (Arts)
Resource implications: A large number of faculty teach and research in South Asian studies at UTM, and we are therefore capable of
sustaining a rich array of courses. The existing faculty will be further strengthened by new tenure-stream hires in Political Science and
Historical Studies. A lecturer who will teach Hindi-Urdu in the Department of Language Studies and courses in South Asian Culture in
the Department of Historical Studies will also be hired on a pilot basis. Some courses which may be taken as credit in this program are
taught by experienced sessional faculty and instructors with limited term appointments.
Program #12 ERMIN1370 Philosophy of Science (Arts)
Resource implications: None
Program #13 ERMIN1407 Diaspora and Transnational Studies (Arts)
Resource implications: No resource implications.
Program #14 ERMIN1443 Women and Gender Studies (Arts)

Humanities
Resource implications: No resource implications.
Program #15 ERMIN2468 Theatre, Drama and Performance Studies (Arts)
Resource implications: None. The FAH course is frequently offered in VIS, but as it is merely an option, not a requirement, for our
students, we will not depend on VIS offering the course. The same applies to the two FRE classes.
Program #16 ERMIN2524 Italian (Arts)
Resource implications: None.
Program #17 ERSPE1092 Language Teaching and Learning: French and Italian (Arts)
Resource implications: None.
Program #18 ERSPE1645 English (Arts)
Resource implications: None. Both courses are already offered every year and both have room for growth without added cost.

Program #8 ERMAJ1645 English (Arts)
Rationale for change:
ENG201Y5 (Reading Poetry) and ENG202Y5 (British Literature, Medieval to Romantic) are foundational
courses in the study of literature in English. They familiarize students with key forms, texts, and historical
developments and thus allow a richer and more nuanced engagement with later works, and with the periods
and texts surveyed in these two courses but re-approached in greater detail in 300-level classes. Ideally,
students should take one of these two courses in their first year in the program, but imposing such a
requirement right now would pose a logistical challenge the department is not yet equipped to face; we thus
retain the strong recommendation to take one of the courses early on and merely require that students take
one of them at some point before graduation. New courses proposed in this round of calendar and
curriculum revisions are also added below to the appropriate subject groups used in our program.
Before:
At least 7.0 ENG credits, including at least 2.0 credits at the 300+ level. Only 1.0 ENG course at the 100
level may be counted toward program requirements. ENG100H may not be counted.
Majors are strongly encouraged to enrol in either ENG201Y5 or ENG202Y5 in their first year in the program.
Courses must fulfill the following requirements:
- At least .5 credit from Group 1 (Theory, Language, Methods)
- At least 1.0 credit from Group 2 (Canadian and Indigenous North American Literatures)
- At least 1.0 credit from Group 3 (American and Transnational Literatures)
- At least 2.0 credits from Group 4 (British Literature to the 19th Century)
- At least 1.0 credit from Group 5 (Literature since the 18th Century) Group 1: Theory, Language, Methods

Program #9 ERMAJ1850 Linguistic Studies (Arts)
Rationale for change:
Added restriction of 1.5 LIN courses to avoid overlapping courses and double use of courses for different
LIN programs. Program name changed to avoid misinterpretation and provide a more concise description of
the program objectives. The change from 7.0 to 8.0 credits is in-line with all majors in the Department of
Language Studies. The language requirement offers student the opportunity to not only learn about the rule
systems of an unfamiliar language, but also to apply the theoretical understanding they have gained about
language structures to the experience of learning a new language. We have also changed the presentation
of the required courses adding "Applied requirements" so that the description reflects how the program is
built on a strong theoretical that feeds into the department's strengths in applied areas (language pedagogy;
language acquisition; sociolinguistics; historical and comparative linguistics). This streamlines the students'
course selection process and guides them towards gaining a breadth of knowledge in the applied fields
taught in the department. No new courses have been added to the program; we have simply re-organized
them.

Rationale for change:
The recommendation does not imply any requirement changes in the Minor. The recommendation is based
on (a) students' interests (as enrollments dictate) and (b) a move towards a more stream-lined path of study.
The degree becomes more functional to students when they have the opportunity to select courses which
clearly fall under specific areas of concentration.

Program #24 ERSPE1645 English (Arts)
Rationale for change:
ENG201Y5 (Reading Poetry) and ENG202Y5 (British Literature, Medieval to Romantic) are foundational
courses in the study of literature in English. They familiarize students with key forms, texts, and historical
developments and thus allow a richer and more nuanced engagement with later works, and with the periods
and texts surveyed in these two courses but re-approached in greater detail in 300-level classes. Ideally,
students should take one of these two courses in their first year in the program, but imposing such a
requirement right now would pose a logistical challenge the department is not yet equipped to face; we thus
retain the strong recommendation to take one of the courses early on and merely require that students take
one of them at some point before graduation. New courses proposed in this round of calendar and
curriculum revisions are also added below to the appropriate subject groups used in our program.
Before:
At least 10.0 ENG credits, including at least 3.0 credits at the 300+ level and 1.0 credit at the 400 level. Only
1.0 ENG course at the 100 level may be counted toward program requirements. ENG100H may not be
counted.
Specialists are strongly encouraged to enrol in either ENG201Y5 or ENG202Y5 in their first year in the
program. Courses must fulfill the following requirements:
- At least 1.0 credit from Group 1 (Theory, Language, Methods)
- At least 1.0 credit from Group 2 (Canadian and Indigenous North American Literatures)
- At least 1.0 credit from Group 3 (American and Transnational Literatures)
- At least 3.0 credits from Group 4 (British Literature to the 19th Century)
- At least 1.5 credits from Group 5 (Literature since the 18th Century)
After:
At least 10.0 ENG credits, including at least 3.0 credits at the 300+ level and 1.0 credit at the 400 level. Only

Course #1 CIN203H5 The Films of Alfred Hitchcock (HUM)
Description:
Recommended
Preparation:
Rationale:
The establishment of film as a serious art form is coincident with the earliest critical writing on Alfred Hitchcock that
emerged in the 1950s. Since then, Hitchcock has remained one of the most important filmmakers of all time,
spawning not only a massive body of critical scholarship but also legions of imitators. This course will serve as an
introduction to both the films (such as Psycho and North by Northwest) and related issues: questions of suspense,
authorship, morality and spectatorship.
VST100H5, VST101H5, CIN202H5
We need another course at the 200 level that will attract students campus wide. Hitchcock is both popular enough
and elemental enough to be attractive, while at the same time being uniquely useful as a more sustained
introduction to basic concepts of film studies that extend from intro but move in a more conceptual direction.

Course #2 CIN402H5 Avant-Garde Film and Video (HUM)
Description:
This course will look at alternative forms of filmmaking and television production. If there is a defining a feature of
avant-garde film and video, it is a general resistance to the thematic and stylistic norms of mainstream production
and popular culture as way of seeing for all. Thus, in this course, we will be looking at both highly personal and
sometimes autobiographical works of art.
Prerequisite:
VST100H5, VST101H5, CIN202H5
Rationale:
Given the unusually large and vibrant community for avant-garde work in the GTA, this will provide students to
begin to interact with these communities as artists and scholars.

emergence of the Greek polis in the archaic period (8th-6th century BCE).
Exclusion:

Course #7 DRE221Y5 Shakespeare (HUM)
Description:
A study of about twelve plays by Shakespeare, representing the different periods of his career and the
different genres he worked in (comedy, history, tragedy). Such plays as: Romeo and Juliet; A Midsummer
Night's Dream; Richard II; Henry IV, parts I and II; Henry V; Twelfth Night; Measure for Measure; Hamlet;
King Lear; Antony and Cleopatra; The Tempest. The course provides an in-depth theatre-historical and
practical introduction to Shakespeare's work and gives students the opportunity to engage with a wide
range of approaches to the staging of his plays.
Exclusion:
ENG220Y5
Prerequisite:
DRE/ENG121H5, 122H5 or permission of U of T Mississauga program director.
Rationale:
This is the DRE version of ENG220Y5, with which it will share the lecture component. Teaching this
course in a more practice-oriented fashion requires more time in tutorial than the current one-hour model
used in ENG220Y5 allows. In discussions with the Registrar's Office, we determined that offering a
separate course with a DRE designator was the easiest way of providing more time for practical in-class
work. An exclusion has been added to ensure students cannot enrol in both the ENG and the DRE
versions of this course.

Humanities
An introduction to influential texts that have shaped British literary history since the nineteenth
century, covering developments in poetry, drama, and prose, and including such writers as
Browning, Tennyson, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Dickens, the Brontës, George Eliot, Hopkins,
Ruskin, Wilde, Joyce, Woolf, Yeats, T. S. Eliot, Beckett, Heaney, Stoppard, Caryl Churchill, Ishiguro,
Zadie Smith. The course will address such topics as the increasing diversity of poetic forms, the
emergence of the professional novelist, the internationalization of British literature in the twentieth
century, literature as social critique, and the Modernism/Postmodernism debate.
Exclusion:
None.
Prerequisite:
All 200-series courses are open to students who are concurrently enrolled in ENG110Y or
ENG140Y, or both DRE/ENG121H and DRE/ENG122H, or who have successfully completed at least
4.0 full credits.
Rationale:
A survey course designed to cover the periods of British literature not currently covered on the
200-level. Our 200-level surveys in American, Canadian, and Postcolonial literature cover the entire
historical breadth of those literatures, leaving students prepared for the more focused 300-level
courses in those areas; the current survey in British literature (ENG202Y) ends with 1832, thus
leaving students without a foundation for our more focused 300-level courses on British literature of
the 19th or 20th centuries.

Course #22 ITA234H5 Cucina Italiana: Italian History and Culture Through Food (HUM)
Description:
The course describes the history of food in Italy, throughout the centuries. The course will also analyze the
formation of different regional traditions. The historical, cultural and linguistic culinary traditions will be illustrated by
a series of pertinent literature on the topic. Special attention will be dedicated to the relationship that existed
between the various cultures who controlled the country (pre Resurgence) and the traditions and recipes left in
their wake (post Unification). In addition, the course will examine the effects that Italian immigration had in North
America, especially on the Canadian and American culinary experience. Students will also have the opportunity to
investigate and explore their own regional (Italian or otherwise) culinary history. This course does not count
towards any Italian programs. It will count only as an elective. Offered in English.

Philosophy of Film; Liberalism and Its Critics; Experimental Philosophy. [36L]
Exclusion:
None
Prerequisite:
4.0 credits
Rationale:
This course aims to introduce more flexibility into our 2nd year offerings. We have "Issues" and "Seminars" courses
at the 3rd and 4th year level that allow instructors to teach a wide range of topics. However, our 2nd year offerings
are much more specific, and often we have Faculty members who would like to teach different topics but are not
willing or cannot commit to teach a course on a regular basis given their other teaching obligations. This would also
allow us to take advantage of unique opportunities in which we can hire, for instance, post-doctoral fellows who
could teach courses for each there is much student interest but are not part of our regular curriculum.

New Courses
28
Humanities
Description:
Studying classic and contemporary works of art, literature, history and/or philosophy, this course asks big
questions about what art is, how it influences society, and what role it plays in people’s lives. Students will be
involved in assignments and small group activities that develop and refine key skills relevant to the humanities.
[24L, 12T]
Exclusion:
utm110H5, utm111H5, utm190H5, utm191H5, utm192H5
Rationale:
As part of our commitment to enhancing the first-year experience, the Dean is proposing changes to utmONE,
UTM’s first-year academic transition initiative. The proposal is to replace the existing series of workshops with a
theme-based, graded, half-credit course in three fields (Natural Sciences, Social Sciences, and Humanities). This
change is consistent with a broader University of Toronto initiative to offer foundational year support to first-year
students (Innis ONE, New ONE, SMC ONE, Trinity ONE, UC ONE, Vic ONE, and Woodsworth ONE).
Power and Danger of Art is a first-year theme-based course that offers a multidisciplinary approach to the
development of transferable academic skills that can be applied by students across the curriculum to enhance their
learning. Based around selected publications from topics within humanities, students will learn, practice, and enrich
their academic skills and strategies including oral and written communication, critical and creative thinking,
information literacy, academic professionalism, and analytical abilities. Lectures will be supplemented by small
group activities in tutorials. Faculty will work closely with academic skills faculty to create assignments that reliably
assess learning.
The administrative structure overseeing utmONE Courses, and thus Power and Danger of Art, will be as follows:
The Vice-Dean Undergraduate will have oversight over the offering of utmONE courses as part of the suite of
utmONE offerings. The utmONE Development Officer will support the Vice-Dean Undergraduate and Robert
Gillespie Academic Skills Centre with utmONE course operations. The course will be delivered by instructors
selected by the Robert Gillespie Academic Skills Centre who have demonstrated excellence in teaching and
engaging pedagogy from the humanities. The detailed course syllabi will be developed in consultation with the
utmONE Planning Committee. This committee is comprised of faculty representatives from every department on
campus and will ensure a multidisciplinary approach to this course.

performances. [24S]
Exclusion:
utm110H5, utm111H5, utm112H5, utm191H5, utm192H5
Rationale:

set of seminars, entitled utmONE Scholars’ Seminars. The Drama of Politics is being proposed as a utmONE
Scholars’ Seminar.
These seminars are designed for first-year students who have demonstrated outstanding academic achievement.
Students will have to complete an application process and be accepted, in order to be eligible to enrol in this
course.
Lauded as a high impact educational practice, first-year seminars are designed to help integrate students into the
academic culture while also igniting a curiosity for learning, with a strong emphasis on critical inquiry, frequent
writing, information literacy, and collaborative learning. utmONE Scholars’ Seminars will offer students a unique
opportunity to explore their creative and intellectual potential in small-group settings. Using a student-centered
learning approach, faculty will serve as an active facilitator of learning to introduce students to university level
scholarship. The Drama of Politics will be a small seminar-style course (.5 FCEs) that will offer an interdisciplinary
approach to the topic of academic inquiry. Enrolment for this course will be no more than thirty students and
involve extensive written work and readings, discussion, and experiential learning, including in-class "character
presentations", exposure to current research and critical analysis of recorded (and when feasible, live)
performances.
