| HIST 290AM - A History of Canadian Disasters |
|
Students will explore major disasters that shook the nation throughout the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Through an examination of a variety of ‘natural’ disasters, including fires, floods, and severe storms to human-made disasters, such as explosions, crashes, and spills, this course will highlight the relationship between all levels of government, big business, and charities when responding to disasters. By investigating the argument that there is no such thing as a ‘natural’ disaster, students will gain insight into Canadian federalism, humanitarianism, big business, and technological advances.
