Interdisciplinary Program

International Development Studies, College of Social and Applied Human Sciences

The program in International Development Studies (IDS) explores the nature and impacts of economic and social development, in Canada and across the globe, from an interdisciplinary perspective. It equips students with the theoretical understanding and analytical and practical skills needed to bring about positive and inclusive change in the world. Students completing a degree in IDS have the skills to tackle complex global problems as needed to promote social justice as citizens and in careers across the public and private sectors and in civil society organizations.

The IDS program provides students with the opportunity to engage with international development practitioners in Canada and internationally. Furthermore, they are equipped with the skills needed for effective engagement whilst as students and in their life beyond university.

Students select an area of emphasis that enables them to explore an issue of particular interest using the skills they develop in the core part of the program. This area of emphasis is selected by the end of the 4th academic semester of study.

International Development Studies students are encouraged to learn another language and to participate in relevant learning experiences beyond the IDS program, including study, work or volunteering in Canada and internationally. In addition to the required core courses and the chosen area of emphasis, students are encouraged to take electives that complement their degree and enhance their analytical and communication skills. See the GIDS website for more information on these opportunities and students can get more information from their academic advisor.

Students with a minimum cumulative average of 80% in courses that constitute the IDS major may complete a thesis (IDEV*4100 Thesis in International Development Studies I and IDEV*4150 Thesis in International Development Studies II) under the supervision of an ID-affiliated faculty member.

This area of emphasis focuses on the need for development to be viewed through the lens of inclusivity, most notably with respect to gender.  It explores the ways in which development often acts to exclude or negatively impact women and other marginalized groups, and the need for development policies and programs to be designed and implemented in a manner that promotes inclusivity with respect to gender. The notion of gender-inclusive development is examined through the perspective of intersectionality. Whilst particular attention is given to gender, there is also examination of sexuality, race, indigeneity and other dimensions of marginalization.
