Peter Farrugia, a contemporary studies and history professor at the Brantford campus, says that contemporary studies courses gather together students with diverse interests and different backgrounds. At Brantford, contemporary studies is a core program and he may find a criminology student sitting next to a journalism student. Farrugia sees it as an exciting opportunity to use a variety of teaching methods within the classroom to engage every student and encourage active learning.
