Background: Woodsworth College is committed to promoting accessibility and equity, and our core mission is to provide the best educational experience for a diverse student body. The Millie Rotman Shime Academic Bridging Program is an access program offered by Woodsworth College that provides opportunity for students who do not meet the academic requirements for admission to the University of Toronto to qualify for admission to an Honours Bachelor of Arts (HBA) or Honours Bachelor of Science (HBSc) degree program in the Faculty of Arts and Science. The program is designed for mature learners, and bridges the gap between prior formal education and the skills necessary for firstyear university courses. As a low:barrier program for learners who have been away from studies for two or more years, classes are rich with diversity and life experience Course description: Despite its image as a multicultural nation, non:dominant groups have often experienced discrimination and injustice within Canada. The course examines experiences of injustice in Canada from diverse perspectives, amplifying voices of marginalized communities (e.g., Indigenous and other racialized peoples, LGBTQ2S+) and providing a more nuanced and critical view of diversity in Canada, historically and in the present.
