The Focus in the Anthropology of Politics, Policy, and Law introduces students to anthropological perspectives on global challenges such as armed conflict, surveillance, border enforcement, the refugee crisis, energy politics, social justice, and climate change among others. Anthropology’s ethnographic approach, grounded in long-term engagement with lived experiences, uniquely captures the complexity of these issues across multiple scales. This Focus draws on diverse ethnographic research, offering a comparative lens on law, policy, and politics. Courses in this focus equip students with analytical tools to critically examine global governance, power, and resistance through an anthropological framework. The Focus will be of interest to students who plan to pursue graduate/professional training and careers in law, public policy, rights advocacy, journalism, and beyond.

Students in the following programs will be eligible to enroll in the Focus in the Anthropology of Politics, Policy, and Law:

• Anthropology Specialist (Arts): Focus ERFOC1775A
• Anthropology Major (Arts): Focus ERFOC1775B

3.0 credits are required.

Now, more than ever, the world needs principled, inclusive, and empathetic global leaders. The Minor in Global Leadership, facilitated in partnership between multiple Faculties across all three U of T campuses, develops students’ collaborative global leadership skills and capacity to critique what is global leadership and how this concept is understood and challenged in diverse disciplines and global cultures. The Minor integrates theory and practice, and provides a forum for students to engage across disciplines and geographical contexts. The Minor includes interdivisional student experience, community engagement and completion of a globally partnered capstone project.

Enrolment in the Minor in Global Leadership is limited. Students can apply to the program after completing 4.0 credits (but no more than 8.0 credits at the time of course enrolment for Fall 2026) and must have achieved a minimum average GPA of 2.7 across their best 3.0 completed credits.

• In the Specialist program, language courses offered by the Department of Language Studies at U of T Mississauga and on the St. George campus, relevant for a student’s coursework in the History of Religions, may be substituted for 300-level RLG credits. In this substitution, a language course of 1.0 credits corresponds to an RLG course of 1.0 credits at the 300-level only for a primary source language related to the student’s coursework (Arabic, Persian, Pahlavi, Latin, Greek, Hebrew, Avestan, Sanskrit, Pali, Hindi, Urdu, Chinese, etc.). Students are invited to contact the Historical Studies Academic Advisor for further information.
• Students intending to pursue graduate studies are strongly encouraged to complete at least 1.0 language courses in consultation with the Historical Studies Academic Advisor.
