CaPitaL LoCation
At Carleton, we have the distinct advantage of being situated in Ottawa, the nations capital, which offers our students unique opportunities. Apart from its national status, Ottawa is renowned, both at home and abroad, for its natural beauty and quality of life.
Although known primarily as the seat of Canadas federal government, Ottawa is so much more. It is home to over 130 embassies, high commissions and consulates, numerous national museums and organizations, a large percentage of Canadas major medical, clinical and life sciences research centres and over 1,900 companies involved in the technology industry. The city is also one of the most picturesque capitals in the world, with its neighbourhood parks and tranquil green spaces, waterways that wind through the city, and historical and architectural landmarks scattered throughout the area. Consistently ranked as one of Canadas most livable and safe cities, Ottawa is part big city, part small town.

The oil is leaking from a vessel that was sunk over 60 years ago, and which is now a shrine commemorating the crew members that died in the attack.

InnoVatiVe PRogRaMS
At Carleton we encourage innovation and interdisciplinarity, believing that when students and faculty from different fields are able to engage with each other and share ideas and methods, real change is possible. Here, we have grouped a selection of our programs, as well as a sampling of our various projects and initiatives, under our four interdisciplinary themes of focus: sustainability and the environment, global identities and globalization, health, and new digital media.

SuStainabiLity anD the EnViRonMent

The relationship between ourselves and our natural environment has become one of the most pressing issues of our time. A number of Carletons programs focus not only on the study of this relationship, but on creating solutions to the many environmental problems the world faces. Also, as an institution, we encourage sustainability initiatives and strive to implement the principles of sustainability on campus.

PROGRAMS RELATING TO SUSTAINABILITY AND THE ENVIRONMENT INCLUDE:

The village green

A number of Carleton students and faculty have been working since May 2009 on an interdisciplinary project to help Sonja Bata turn the historic factory-village of Batawa into a model sustainable village. In Winter 2011, thirty-one industrial design students spent a term devising new ideas for various parts of the village, including a community garden, forest trail system and splash pad for children. In addition, Architecture professor Stephen Fai is leading a team that, with the help of the Carleton Immersive Media Studio (CIMS), has created a 3-D visualization of the timeline of the village since its beginnings (see screenshot above)a project that will help decide the path for Batawas future.

GLobaL IDentitieS anD GLobaLiZation

National boundaries in our world have become blurred, due in part to the profound effects of economic and technological globalization. As a result, the way we construct our individual identities has become increasingly complex, raising some important questions. If we are global citizens, where is our home, and where do we belong? Can people have multiple or hybrid cultural identities? Will globalization foster diversity or encourage sameness?

These questionsand others like themare addressed at Carleton through our programs, events and afliations. Voicing Identity Students in the I am Canadian (or am I)? ArtsOne cluster, along with three Carleton professors, organized a slam poetry event on the theme of Canadian and Aboriginal history, culture and identity. As part of their cluster activities, students researched slam poetry and participated in the promotion of the event. One of the performers, Chris Tse, is a recent Carleton Journalism graduate (see page 33).

PROGRAMS RELATING TO GLOBAL IDENTITIES AND GLOBALIZATION INCLUDE:

equip you with the knowledge and skills necessary for working sensitively with both individuals and groups and for critically analyzing social policies and programs that affect the lives of people in our society. FOUR-YEAR PROGRAM The BSW program combines a liberal arts education with a professional social work education. In rst year, you will take a range of courses outside of social work and one main social work course which introduces you to the profession of social work and the programs and policies that comprise the welfare state. In second year, you will be introduced to the basic theoretical frameworks that underlie social work. This will include ideas and concepts from the social sciences, including sociology, psychology, political science and economics, with an emphasis placed on understanding the impact of race, gender and class on peoples lives. In addition, you

will explore the history and theories of the welfare state and cover topics such as the nature of the labour market, the family, the voluntary sector and research methodology. In third year, you will study how the welfare state is administered and managed, you will learn about working in community and human service organizations, and you will have the opportunity to hone your analytic and interpersonal skills. Your eld practicums (or placements) allow you to put theory into practice and are offered in such settings as: n hospitals n child protection services n community health or crisis centres n shelters n drop-in centres for homeless people n provincial, federal, and municipal government departments n a range of international and non-governmental organizations In fourth year, you will have more opportunities to practise social work as you complete another eld practicum. After you have completed your fourthyear practicum, the Honours Integrative Seminar provides you further opportunity to synthesize theory with practice and to enhance your skills in critical self-evaluation.

Carletons Social Work program is accredited by the Canadian Association for Social Work Education, and BSW graduates can work in any province or territory in Canada.

justice because they recognize the fundamental impact that social structures have on people. As a graduate with a Bachelor of Social Work you would be eligible to join the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers and receive the designation of Registered Social Worker.

Community spirit
The School of Social Work is an integral part of the social welfare community in Ottawa and our professors enjoy strong, collegial relations with a wide range of individuals and community health centres and organizations, such as War Child Canada and the Social Planning Council of Ottawa.

A pioneer in social work

Nationally and internationally renowned for its commitment to social justice, equality and respect for all peoples in society, the School of Social Work is a pioneer of the structural approach to social work. As a student of this approach, you will learn that the society in which we live is made up of diverse groups of people with varying degrees of access to economic and political power. At the School of Social Work, we believe that the inequalities based on class, race, sex, sexual orientation, disability or age, among others, are the result of economic, political and ideological structuresnot individual failings. For example, in an analysis of poverty, we would examine the underlying social and economic issues that contribute to poverty rather than focusing on any perceived shortcomings of an individual. We believe that Carleton-educated social work practitioners are able to effectively work for social

A strong student society

The School is a close-knit community and students are actively involved in the activities of the School. The BSW Student Society is a great support network that arranges many events, such as workshops and seminars, to encourage discussion and awareness of social issues as well as to provide a forum for raising questions related to social work. It also gives students an opportunity to interact and have fun. Students in the Social Work program come from across Canada and abroad. This multicultural mix not only allows students and faculty to learn from each other but also prepares students for the diverse communities in which they will work.

The capital advantage

Studying in the nations capital gives our students tremendous off-campus learning opportunities.

For students interested in social policy, the Canadian parliament and numerous think tanks are located in Ottawa, including the Caledon Institute of Social Policy and the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives. The main ofce of Canada Without Poverty (formerly the National Anti-Poverty Organization) is also located in Ottawa. The Canadian Council on Social Development is located in Ottawa, as are ofces of the Canadian Association of Social Workers and the Canadian Association for Social Work Education (formerly the Canadian Association of Schools of Social Work). The headquarters of unions and a number of nongovernmental organizations (Oxfam, CUSO International, North-South Institute) provide a broad range of learning opportunities for our students.

Learn outside the classroom

Social Work professor Martha Wiebe (on right) works closely with students, matching them to the right placement and monitoring their progress while in the eld. She also meets with on-site supervisors such as Darlene Crew (on left) from The Well/La Source. Field placements are a fundamental component of the Social Work program, says Wiebe. Placements are an educational experience for our students, and can often be very transformative. When a student graduates from the program, they are ready to enter the profession.

Co-oP anD CaReeR OPPoRtunitieS

The majority of our undergraduate programs include co-operative education (co-op) or work-study opportunities, which allow you to take theoretical concepts from the classroom and apply them to solving real-world problems in your field of study.
These work opportunities allow you to develop the tangible skills that employers are looking for. The strong industry and government connections that we have built over the years have helped us to create many valuable work opportunities for our students. We also are fortunate to work with employers who are happy to come to our campus to offer students career advice and, for some, employment when they graduate.

Co-operative education
Carletons co-op program is diverse and exible. Coop options are available in over 100 programs, streams and concentrations at the undergraduate level and in a select group of programs at the graduate level. Choosing to participate in the co-op option in your program means you will alternate your periods of study

with four, eight, 12 or 16-month work terms with employers in your eld. Typically, you will take an additional year of study to complete all academic and co-op program requirements, develop your work skills and acquire the relevant industry experience. As a partial contribution to offset some of the overall program costs, students participating in co-op pay a co-op program fee. The total program fee varies from

50 CarLETON UNIVErsITY

student to student, depending on the number of work terms they participate in. However, coop is a paid work opportunity. Students interested in the co-op program have many resources available to them. Our co-op team will guide you through the co-op process from the time you apply to the time you nish your work terms. Co-op staff and faculty advisors are available to provide guidance and mentorship on the experiential learning process. COOP 1000, the required preparatory course, outlines the co-op programs structure, regulations and expectations for participation. Course material will cover resum and cover-letter writing, interview preparation, workplace safety and professional ethics, among other topics. This course also provides students with the opportunity to network with and learn from industry professionals in their eld of study.

Career development
Co-op and Career Services has professionally trained staff to help students gather information on career possibilities and develop the skills and understanding to succeed in the job market. Numerous on-campus events give students the chance to engage in meaningful job search and networking opportunities with industry employers. In the past year, students have had the opportunity to take advantage of the following services:
