Course Description
This course examines industrial organization (IO), which is a subfield of micro-economics, to study the behavior of firms and market structure especially focusing on imperfectly competitive markets. Students analyze how firms behave in different market structures and how the behavior of firms affects the outcome of the economy. Most lectures are theoretical and focus on formal analysis rather than case studies. The course makes heavy use of game theory and uses basic calculus and statistics to solve the maximization problem in various situations.

Course Description
This course offers a place-based exploration of the multiple, complex, and contested ways urban Indigeneity is constituted in Canada today. Students explore ways in which to facilitate and translate community perspectives and parameters into communicative framework or object. Students critically engage with settler colonial constructions of indigeneity, with attention to how such narratives continue to be expressed today. These issues are examined from interdisciplinary and comparative perspectives drawing on material from the fields of Indigenous studies, political science, history, cultural geography, gender, race, sexuality and social justice, planning, and art and architecture. The course consists of lectures, guest speakers, seminars, class discussions, and student presentations. Students are required to participate in one or more community event outside of class time. This course requires students to have completed a minimum of two years of university level instruction as a prerequisite.
