The Canadian Studies program offers opportunities to study contemporary Canada from multidisciplinary perspectives across cultural, social, economic and political frameworks. A wide variety of courses examine community- and identity-formation to better understand structural and systemic forms of discrimination, as well as resistance and empowerment. Students gain a critical understanding of contemporary issues and opportunities to make lasting, constructive contributions to the communities in which we live.
Students will be encouraged to take full advantage of the extra-curricular offerings available through the Canadian Studies Program, including its journal, ImagiNATIONs, produced by and for undergraduate students as well as the annual undergraduate student conference. The Canadian Studies Student Union is a focal point for social as well as academic pursuits.
