Special Topics - fall 2025-2026
AH 4670F - Seminar in Architecture and Urbanism or Design
This course examines the complex relationship between architecture and the built environment, exploring how they are intertwined with crime, punishment, and disciplinary control while also serving as backdrops to conflict, rebellion, resistance, and other forms of violent and non-violent actions. Most often, the built environment visualizes the authority and dominance of institutional bodies through buildings and urban designs. In our course, we will explore the interconnections among authority, resistance, and architecture during the Early Modern period, drawing direct correlations to contemporary practices. We will begin by exploring theoretical premises that explore the disciplining of urban spaces. Next, we will explore selected examples in 成人大片 Europe and the colonial world through extant examples of the built form or through surviving visual artifacts (paintings, manuscripts, prints, written accounts, etc.). These historical precedents serve as a foundation for considering how these practices continue to manifest in our current contexts.

AH 4636G - Seminar in Art of the Americas: Brazilian Art in Canada
This seminar will focus on art from Brazil in Canadian collections, exhibitions of Brazilian art in Canada, and art from the Brazilian diaspora in Canada. Students will be exposed to important artistic trends in Brazil since the 1920s, cultural relations between the two nations, and migration from Brazil to Canada. The seminar is aligned and will engage with Museum London’s exhibition Tropi-X: Brazilian Art in Canada, from the 1970s to the Present and some of the classes will take place in the museum. The course will combine lectures by the instructor, guided discussions, and other active learning activities.
