Anti-Racist Research & Practice Certificate
in
Note:
Certificates are designed to allow you to complete a coherent grouping of degree-credit courses at university level as either part of or independent from a full degree program. The number of courses required for any given certificate varies upon the subject area and specialization.
This professional certificate is ideal for individuals who encounter racial or cultural issues as part of their job and for those who are engaged in anti-racism research, education or organizational development. The certificate draws on the multiculturalism of the greater Toronto area and for many of your courses you'll be asked to do research in the community.
In this certificate program, you will develop comprehensive knowledge about how to challenge systemic and institutional racism, with a special focus on addressing issues in the workplace, educational and health care sectors, immigration, law enforcement, media and the expressive arts. You will acquire a host of valuable skills including policy assessment and program planning, research design and implementation and critical/analytical skills.
The program's major international collaborative research initiative, Diaspora, Islam and Gender, provides opportunities to participate in research activities as work/study students. Through this you would learn excellent research, interviewing and computer skills. You will also have the opportunity to take part in our annual symposium – Women's Voices from the Middle East.
