INT 908
Homelessness in Canadian Society
This course offers an interdisciplinary approach to understanding the complex problem of homelessness. Drawing on literature from Canada and the U.S., issues which underlie homelessness, the various ways in which these may be manifested, the ever changing characteristics of these populations, and the policy responses aimed at resolving issues are explored. The current state of statistical information, the views of frontline service providers and advocates, and the differing paradigms embedded in the various disciplines represented will form the basis for debate and shared learning. (Formerly IST 908.)
