engage in such social control What members of society use
their power to impose their values on others What are the
consequences of these different forms of moral regulation This
course examines three hundred years of the regulation of
behaviours and substances believed to be ‗bad‘ in North
America. It introduces students to some of the most recent
scholarship on social and moral regulation, focusing on issues
such as smoking, gambling, alcohol and drug consumption,
prostitution, venereal diseases and sex education,
homosexuality, abortion, and pornography. Regulation of these
practices has been the work of reformers, social and
commercial interest groups, religious and morally based
organizations, as well as the state through law enforcement
agencies, courts, and educational systems. At different points in
history these various groups worked together to have their views
imposed on Canadian and American societies. In this course
we will trace the evolution of these regulation movements and
determine how successful they were in shaping discourse,
influencing state policies, and creating a morally ‗better‘ world.
This course provides students with the skills and knowledge to
deliver change to organizations through the successful use of
projects. Students will learn and apply project management
methodologies, tools, and techniques required to initiate, plan,
execute, and close projects. The students' general
understanding of project management is further developed by
applying the skills and knowledge to business projects. Project
management software is employed.
Upper Race and Gender When the internet was first introduced into homes, it was
interpreted as a free space where issues of race and gender, in
particular, could be left behind. But the digital reality, from dating
and social networking sites to video games and porn, has turned
out to be quite different from those idealized predictions. This
course attempts to re-introduce the notions of race and gender
in the study of the digital world, since visible minorities and
women were functionally absent from the internet at precisely
the time when its imagery was being cemented in our
consciousness. We will commence the course by examining the
major debates around race and gender in society. Once an
understanding of these concepts is developed, we will examine
digital technology in the forms of the internet and mobile
technology. In particular, we will examine how race and gender
happen online and in the digital world, focusing on how race,
gender, and digital technology intersect from a multi-disciplinary
perspective. Topics include gender and the digital world, race
and the digital world, representations on social networking sites
such as Facebook and MySpace and in video games such as
Grand Theft Auto and The Sims2, and minority women‘s use of
mobile technologies, among others. We will ask: 1. How does
