We are excited to announce that CAP students in the Environment & Society stream now have the opportunity to get their Place and Power requirement (3 credit graduating requirement) completed in first year!
In second term, E&S students will take CAP 101-A E02 along with Geography and History. CAP 101-A E02 considers the definitions of the relationship between land and power–ranging from the economic to the sacred. Students will investigate power struggles centered on land and land use in “British Columbia,” drawing on Indigenous, settler, arrivant, and immigrant perspectives. This course considers how literature, culture, media, and language play a part in shaping the power dynamics of our world.
This new course is an exciting addition to CAP and the Environment & Society stream. It enables students to complete two Arts degree requirements in first year– the Writing Requirement (CAP 100) and the Place and Power Requirement (CAP 101A E02). It also offers courses in multiple Arts breadth areas, setting students up for several majors in the Faculty of Arts including Geography, History, Political Science, Sociology, and Pyschology.
