The Combined B.A. (Honours) in Human Rights is a multi-disciplinary program in which human rights are examined along four dimensions:
(a) human rights law, institutions and practices, (b) contexts of inequality and power, (c) ethical and theoretical issues and justifications of human rights, and (d) cultural and cross-cultural contexts. Students develop their analytical capabilities and understanding of human rights in ways that are both practical and theoretical, specialist and generalist, drawing from humanities as well as social sciences. Structured as a Combined Honours program, it provides interdisciplinary expertise in human rights while also requiring students to develop a disciplinary base for their studies.
In addition to Core courses, students will choose Human Rights Options courses on topics including: Canadian and international human rights law and institutions; gender difference and inequality; labour rights; racial, cultural and ethnic difference and inequality; indigenous peoples; human rights and development; regional human rights contexts; ethical, legal, and political theory pertaining to human rights.
In order to graduate, students must fulfill all University graduation regulations (see p. 48), all Faculty regulations, including those relating to First-Year Seminars (see p. 63) and all Major regulations and requirements set out below. The B.A. requirement for breadth is waived for students in this program.
