Faculty/Division: Faculty of Arts & Science
Department: Munk School of Global Affairs & Public Policy
Campus: St. George (Downtown Toronto)
Description:
Course number and title: PPG2003H1S – Capstone Integrating Seminar: Issues In Public Policy
Course description: This course is intended to draw on the skills, analytic approaches, and policy knowledge that students have acquired over the course of the MPP program and to bring them to bear on the development of a coherent policy agenda for the current Canadian context.
The course is modelled after the Institute for Research and Public Policy’s Canadian Priorities Agenda (CPA) project, updated to account for the dramatic shifts in the policy environment since the original CPA exercise in 2007. The CPA brought together a group of “agenda-setters” to set priority areas for action, researchers who made proposals for particular policies within each priority area, and a panel of “judges” who recommended new policy agendas for Canada by choosing from among the proposals presented. In this course, the student will act as all three—agenda setters, proponents and judges—in developing and defending an agenda of three policies for their final course assignment.
Estimated course enrolment: 85 students
Estimated TA support: TBA
Class schedule: Lecture: Thursdays 2–5pm (in-person/virtual)
*The delivery method for this course is expected to be in-person. Please note that, in keeping with current circumstances, the course delivery method may change as determined by the Faculty or the Department.
