| Criminology and Sociolegal Studies | Criminology and Sociolegal Studies | https://www.crimsl.utoronto.ca/ | https://www.sgs.utoronto.ca/programs/criminology-and-sociolegal-studies/ | https://sgs.calendar.utoronto.ca/degree/Criminology-and-Sociolegal-Studies | Arts and Science | UTSG | Master of Arts, Doctor of Philosophy | Program Overview The primary aim of the graduate program at the Centre for Criminology and Sociolegal Studies is to provide students with opportunities for advanced multi-disciplinary study and supervised research experience in the areas of crime, the administration of criminal justice, and social studies of law and regulation.The program familiarizes students with existing bodies of criminological and sociolegal research, and develops critical, analytical and methodological skills. It is not a training program in forensic science, nor in professional legal studies. Rather, it is designed to educate students for careers in teaching or research, as well as jobs in which the ability to evaluate criminological or sociolegal research critically is necessary or desirable.The graduate program is identified with two fields: criminology and sociolegal studies.The criminology field includes the study of patterns in crime, criminal behaviour, and the administration of criminal justice. Subject areas include, for example, theories of crime and order, politics and crime, the psychology of criminal behaviour, policing, the criminal process, sentencing, penology, youth crime and justice, and criminal justice history.The sociolegal studies field includes the study of how various types of law (e.g., criminal, civil, administrative, regulatory), as well as different mechanisms of social regulation, are used to prevent manage and sanction harmful conduct and effect security. Subject areas include, for example, theoretical perspectives on law and society; regulation, law, crime, and the economy; and, risk, regulation, and security.Students may also be interested in the combined degree program in Law, Juris Doctor / Criminology, Master of Arts (JD/MA). Program Description The MA program encompasses two related disciplinary and interdisciplinary fields.The first is criminology, which can be briefly defined as the study of all aspects of crime, including its definitions, causes, and intellectual genealogy, as well as the policy and institutional responses to it. Although criminology features some aspects of a separate discipline, including its own theoretical schools, journals, and university departments, it also draws heavily on related social science disciplines.The field of sociolegal studies, also known as the law and society movement, is a related interdisciplinary research tradition that investigates a broad range of legal phenomena using the techniques and approaches of social science. Examples of such phenomena that the faculty have studied include citizenship and immigration policy, urban planning, and the regulation of alcohol and sex work.The program is distinctive in that these bodies of knowledge are treated as closely related, and both of them are incorporated into the program of study. Broad intellectual exploration of these fields is incorporated by limiting the number of required courses and encouraging students to select courses (both in this and other graduate programs) that reflect their own intellectual and professional priorities. Likewise, students are given the option of meeting their degree requirements by completing eight taught half-courses or by completing six taught half-courses and writing a "master's research paper" that allows them to develop an independent research project under the supervision of a faculty member. While specialized professional or technical training meant to be directly transferable into criminal justice occupations is not provided, we welcome applications by criminal justice professionals who wish to pursue part-time studies.The MA program enjoys an excellent national and international reputation, and graduates are sought by employers in both the public and private sectors who appreciate the theoretically and academically rigorous interdisciplinary social science training that is provided. Program Description Similar to the MA program, the PhD program reflects the same emphasis on interdisciplinarity and flexibility, as well as an integrated, inclusive approach to criminology and sociolegal studies.The primary mission of the doctoral program is to prepare future professional academics for a career in teaching and research; graduates hold faculty positions throughout Canada, in the United States, and around the world.Over the years, PhD students have pursued dissertation projects on extremely varied research questions involving aspects of crime, criminal justice institutions, and a range of sociolegal topics. Regardless of their specific focus, they have found the Centre a supportive and interactive environment. The Centre promotes such collegiality by offering students shared office space in the Centre and encouraging them to work on site and participate in the lively intellectual life and shared scholarly activities. Likewise, although PhD students work closely with a primary supervisor, they also benefit from opportunities to learn from other core and cross-appointed faculty members. In short, the goal is to train broadly educated, thoughtful scholars with a research agenda in criminology or sociolegal studies.Students are normally paired with a prospective supervisor at the time of admission.

| Diaspora and Transnational Studies | ***Collaborative Specialization*** | https://cdts.utoronto.ca/ | https://sgs.calendar.utoronto.ca/collaborative/Diaspora-and-Transnational-Studies | Arts and Science | Tricampus | Master's, Doctoral | Diaspora in contemporary thought involves the shifting relations between homelands and host nations from the perspective of those who have moved, whether voluntarily or not. Diaspora emphasizes the inescapable lived translocal experiences of many migrant communities that exceed the boundaries of the nation-state. Questions of nostalgia, of the dynamics of co-ethnic identification, of the politics of homeland and host nation, and of the inter-generational shifts in responses to all these are central to studies of diaspora. Transnationalism, on the other hand, focuses on flows and counterflows and the multistriated connections to which they give rise. It encompasses in its ambit not just the movement of people but also concepts of citizenship and multinational governance, the resources of information technology, and the realities of the global marketplace, among others. Taken together, the two concepts of diaspora and transnationalism enable our understanding of the complex realities of vast movements of people, goods, ideas, images, technologies, and finance in the world today. This collaborative specialization is designed to bring together both social science and humanities perspectives to augment our existing tri-campus undergraduate program and to contribute to increased research collaboration between participants in the collaborative specialization. | governance | SDG16 | X | ||||||||||||||||

| Food Studies | ***Collaborative Specialization*** | https://www.utsc.utoronto.ca/culinaria/ | https://sgs.calendar.utoronto.ca/collaborative/Food-Studies | University of Toronto Scarborough (UTSC) | Tricampus | Master's, Doctoral | Food Studies is an interdisciplinary field dedicated to understanding where our food comes from and how it shapes our bodies and identities. The production and consumption of food has gone through tremendous changes in the past few hundred years. Before industrialization, most food was grown in the place where it was eaten. With the rise of global commodity agriculture, it is often hard to find out exactly what our food is and where it comes from. Then, famine was a constant spectre, whereas today, over-eating has become a significant health problem. Particular attention will be given to the material nature of food, the way it tastes and smells, and the changes it undergoes through natural decomposition and through the human intervention of preservation and cooking. Students will learn the importance of food in religion, society, the family, gender roles, the environment, agriculture, urbanization, immigration, colonialism, and race and ethnicity. Food Studies will leverage the University’s urban location and its proximity to Canada’s agricultural heartland to broaden students’ experience. The study of food provides both theoretical understanding and practical knowledge for professional careers in health care, business, government service, non-governmental organizations, and educational and community programs. This specialization will draw on a variety of disciplinary approaches emphasizing different knowledge and skills. | environment, production, consum, urban, gender, health, food, agricultur | SDG2, SDG3, SDG5, SDG11, SDG12, SDG13 | X | X | X | X | X | X | |||||||||||

It was established in a response to the need for increased numbers of health services researchers to address critical issues in effective and efficient health-care delivery (which has been identified as a top priority by national research funding agencies). The Ontario Training Centre was part of a pan-Canadian initiative involving other provincial centres. After its first decade of operations, funding for the centre has concluded. However, the Collaborative Specialization in Health Services and Policy Research continues to attract graduate students from the University of Toronto from a variety of disciplines. The overall goal of the collaborative specialization is to increase health research capacity in Ontario through an innovative training program that builds on existing strengths in university and decision-making environments. Partnering with a number of health-care organizations, the Collaborative Specialization in Health Services and Policy Research offers graduate training leading to a Diploma in Health Services and Policy Research. Specific objectives of the collaborative specialization include: • providing training in health services research for graduate students; • enhancing the quality and breadth of transdisciplinary training in health services research; and • including decision makers as active partners in teaching, program and curriculum planning, and the provision of field placements for students. This competency-based collaborative specialization focuses on the following five areas: • understanding the Canadian health-care system; • ability to carry out health services research; • understanding theories regarding how the health of populations is produced; • understanding theories of health and health services knowledge production; and • knowledge exchange and development of research partnerships. | health | SDG3 | X | ||||||||||||||||

The Faculty offers a professional/academic program of study leading to a Master of Social Work (MSW) and a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) degree. MSW: Human services are among the fastest growing sectors of the Canadian economy. Along with the growth is an increasing diversification of the sector, with fields of practice rising up around specific areas of need. The country as a whole will need social workers to staff new, more specialized service agencies of the future. While the notion of generic social work has a role to play in this increasingly complex environment, it is clear that graduates will also require more specific skills if they are to thrive in the new human service sector. In other words, generic social work is a necessary, but no longer sufficient preparation for practice. The overall aim of the program is therefore to produce graduates who are ready to enter the field of their choice after first receiving a thorough grounding in the knowledge, values, and skills common to all social workers. The specializations are built upon the expertise of core teaching faculty and have all been developed with the very active participation of partner agencies in each of the respective fields. Goals To prepare graduates: for ethical, innovative, and effective social work practice in a diverse society; for competent practice which integrates theory and research; to be capable of integrating practice and policy; to practice in specialized areas, defined by student interest, faculty expertise, and demand from the field.; who have a generic foundation of core social work knowledge, values, and skills, applicable to all fields and methods of practice; to practice in specialized areas, defined by student interest, faculty expertise, and demand from the field; to work actively to promote social justice, make professional decisions, and perform professional functions that are informed by an understanding of the political context of practice. Objectives To prepare students for: professional practice according to the accreditation standards of the Council on Social Work Education (CASWE); social work practice interventions based on research evidence; specialized practice in five identified areas: Children and their Families Gerontology Mental Health and Health Social Justice and Diversity Social Service Administration strengthening partnerships with social work agencies in areas of particular interest to the Faculty for the purposes of enriching the curriculum and producing graduates with the requisite skills to function in those agencies; encouraging interdisciplinary linkages. PhD The purpose of the PhD program at the Factor-Inwentash Faculty of Social Work doctoral program is to prepare students for leadership roles in social work education, research, and the community. Students are admitted to the PhD program on the bases of prior scholarly and professional achievements. Applicants who have been involved in research and who have a record of publications are rated highly for consideration for admission. These admission criteria acknowledge that the PhD in Social Work is a research degree located in a university, which emphasizes research excellence for all of its graduate programs. Through scholarship, research, and mastery of substantive areas of study, the objectives of the program require student competence in the following: conduct social work research using a range of paradigms and methods; conduct research that both informs and advances social work knowledge and performance in areas of direct practice, community intervention, and policy development; demonstrate a broad understanding of the major practice and policy issues in social welfare and the profession of social work; substantive knowledge of a field of social work (defined by students’ research interests), which results in the articulation of important empirical questions. Enrolment in the Faculty of Social Work entails adherence to the standards of professional behaviour for the social work profession set forth in the Social Work Code of Ethics of the Canadian Association of Social Workers. Combined Degree Programs Students may also be interested in: Law, Juris Doctor / Master of Social Work (JD/MSW) Mental Health Studies (Specialist), Honours Bachelor of Science / Master of Social Work (MHSc/MSW) Mental Health Studies (Specialist Co-op), Honours Bachelor of Science / Master of Social Work (MHSc/MSW) Program Description The MSW program is distinguished by the integration of research and practice in both the classroom and its practicum education.

Master of Social Work (Field: Children and Their Families) Within the MSW degree program, the field in Children and Their Families is designed to prepare students for social work practice with children and their families at all levels of intervention, from individual to group work with children, to family and couple intervention, to community organization, and to program and policy development. Master of Social Work (Field: Gerontology) Social workers provide a wide variety of services and programs, both in the community and in institutions that are aimed at enhancing the quality of life of older people and assisting families to adjust to the aging of their family member. Social workers also play a vital role in the development and implementation of social and economic policies at the provincial and national levels through research on aging, consultation with government, and through social advocacy. All students enrolled in the Social Work in Gerontology field will automatically be enrolled in the Collaborative Specialization in Aging, Palliative and Supportive Care Across the Life Course. Master of Social Work (Field: Health and Mental Health) As members of inter-professional health teams, social workers seek to assist others in understanding the social and community context in which physical and mental illness occur, and the way in which these larger systems contribute to the development of illness and disability and exacerbate or ameliorate the challenges in adapting to illness and living with disability. Master of Social Work (Field: Human Services Management and Leadership) The not-for-profit sector is primarily responsible for the delivery of social services in Canada. There is a critical need for people who are able to assume leadership roles in the community social services sector. Master of Social Work (Field: Indigenous Trauma and Resiliency) The Indigenous Trauma and Resiliency field integrates theory and research drawn from social work and Indigenous knowledge for application in the delivery of services and interventions for Indigenous populations.
