Appointment Details

Course Information

  1. Course #1
    • Course Code: GEO793
    • Course Title: The Geography of Toronto
    • Course Description: Founded in 1793 on First Nations territories, Toronto is Canada's largest metropolitan area and arguably a world-class city. Although Toronto may reflect some of the characteristics of Canada as a whole, it is a distinct geographical space. This course provides students with an understanding of Toronto, by examining interrelated historical, social, cultural, political, and environmental issues. Throughout the course, North American and global perspectives are considered, where appropriate.
    • No. of Sections: 1
    • Estimated Section Size: 200 students

  2. Course #2
    • Course Code: GEO509
    • Course Title: Food, Place, and Identity
    • Course Description: This course examines the role of provenance and place in the evolution of diet. In defining the geography of food as who eats what where and why, it considers how food's importance extends beyond mere nourishment; food is an idiom that provides individual and collective comfort and identity. However, impoverished or affluent, contemporary cuisines are legacies of military conflict, colonization and commercial influence that have incorporated key, non-indigenous products that were introduced by the Columbian exchange.
