“Toronto is in the 'Dish With One Spoon Territory’. The Dish With One Spoon is a treaty
between the Anishinaabe, Mississaugas and Haudenosaunee that bound them to share the
territory and protect the land. Subsequent Indigenous Nations and peoples, Europeans and
all newcomers have been invited into this treaty in the spirit of peace, friendship and
respect."
Course Descriptions
This course develops knowledgeable, responsive child and youth care
professionals who are committed to working with culturally and socially diverse
communities, families, youth and children in a changing globalized world. How
some bodies and communities have been colonized, oppressed, marginalized, and
silenced on the basis of a single trait or through the interlocking nature of
diversity will be addressed.
Course Focus and Scope
This course engages the complexity of diversity within the professional context of
Child and Youth Care practice which may encompass race, gender, disability,
socio-economic status, cultural difference, sexual orientation, and the different
values of different religions, the imposition of foreign governance and the
experience of functioning as an immigrant in Canada. The initial assumption of
this course stems from the notion that Child and Youth Care (CYC) practitioners
encounter in their everyday practice multiple forms of culturally interpreted and
situated forms of diversity. Therefore, it is imperative for CYC students to

understand the ways in which they can respectfully engage the multiple forms of
diversities among children, youth and their families from a social justice and
equity framework the aim of this course is to challenge the CYC students to reflect
and critically examine their thoughts, feelings and attitudes surrounding matters
of diversity.
This course will achieve its goals by integrating theories, research, and practice
from child and youth care, the humanities, social sciences, and cultural studies.
This integration of disciplines will support CYC students in learning how to
effectively practice from both a local and global position that engages diversity as
fundamental to best practice. CYC students will also review institutional and
government policies to understand diversity issues that have been engaged
marginally and have given rise to inequity. In this course, CYC students will be
required to scrutinize academic scholarship, personal and communal stories from
a multiple (discursive) theoretical lens which analyzes: how power is used, how
voice is recognized or ignored and how knowledge production and interpretation
are contextualized in social political ways. The course grounds CYC students in
practice allowing them to be active proponents of diversity and social justice
work.
Course Objectives
To help students understand that diversity and equity are central meeting
the core principles of Child and Youth Care practice (care, engagement,
relational practice and life space context practice)
To engage students with issues of diversity in relation to practice and
scholarship using theories of social justice and equity.
To provide students with strategies that will allow them to be critical
of their own thoughts and action as CYC professionals.
To assist students in developing strong leadership in their
engagement with issues of diversity.
To teach students effective skills to continually engage in the process of
inquiry and self-reflective practice in reference to diversity in the context of
CYC practice.
