LLCU 260: Multilingualisms

This course explores social and cultural aspects of multilingualism. In the first half of the course, we consider how language boundaries are made and in the second we consider how they are broken down.

LLCU 111: Introduction to Culture

What is culture? How can we learn about cultural diversity? We’ll study everything from DNA companies to alien speech to food to answer these questions.

LLCU 360: Ethnographic Approaches to Language

Around the world in 4 books! This course gives students the chance to read 4 ethnographies that are focused on language and communication. The research we focus on this year talks about language and environment in the Amazon, gender in the Andes, sign language in Nepal, and baseball in the US.

LLCU 403: Stories that Matter

This course is the capstone seminar for LLCU majors. We will explore storytelling in a variety of different forms. This year we will also partner with the Algonquin Park Archives and Collections Centre to work on a collaborative class research project.
