Director Jane M. Koustas, Department of Modern Languages, Literatures and Cultures TBA (as of July 1, 2002) Assistant Professor Donald Wright (History) General Information Administrative Assistant Fran Meffe 905-688-5550, extension 4029 Mackenzie Chown F242 http://www.brocku.ca/canstudies/ The Centre for Canadian Studies offers an opportunity to study Canadian culture and society from a variety of disciplinary perspectives, with co-operating faculty from Communications, Popular Culture and Film, Economics, English Language and Literature, Fine Arts, Modern Languages, Literatures and Cultures, Geography, History, Political Science and Sociology. Students take required interdisciplinary Canadian Studies courses along with a number of Canada-centred courses offered by other departments. Emphasis is placed upon the unique nature of the Canadian experience and upon the value and practice of combining disciplinary approaches in the study of culture and society. The Canadian Studies core courses offered in years 1, 2 and 3 are designed to introduce students to interdisciplinary studies in a progressive manner. The year 1 course is taught by one instructor and examines the development of Canadian culture from the perspectives of disciplines within the Humanities. Year 2 and 3 courses are interdisciplinary courses which combine humanities and social science perspectives on a particular topic or issue related to the study and understanding of Canada. The Centre for Canadian Studies offers combined major programs and a Minor leading to a BA (honours or pass). Canadian Studies core courses may also be taken as electives by students in other degree programs. Canadian Studies may be combined with any other discipline or program in the Humanities or Social Sciences which offers a combined major program. |
