How does language connect and divide people, places, and communities? This course considers how interactions between people in complex cities like Toronto are shaped by language as well as their colonial history, economy, architecture, and urban landscapes. Students engage with the city both inside and outside the classroom to ask questions about gender and sexuality, indigeneity, migration, race, ethnicity, and public/private space and to rethink the city through a decolonial lens. Restricted to first-year students. Not eligible for CR/NCR option.
