Welcome to the Centre for Canadian Studies. The Centre offers a unique opportunity to study Canadian culture and society from a variety of interdisciplinary perspectives. Students have the option to take courses in History, English Language and Literature, Modern Languages, Geography, Popular Culture and Film, Dramatic Arts, Visual Arts, Political Science, Sociology and Economics among others. Undergraduates are also required to take core courses offered by the Canadian Studies department itself. All of these courses are designed to familiarize students with the unique nature of the Canadian experience.
The Centre for Canadian Studies at Brock University sponsors one of the most engaging forums for the discussion of issues relating to Canadian culture and society - The Two Days of Canada Conference. Held annually, the Two Days of Canada conference attracts academics, activists, undergraduate and graduate students as well as promoting awareness of the Canadian experience in the general population. This year's conference to be held on February 24 & 25 focuses on the subject of animals in Canada. Topics to be explored include the historic importance of the fishing and fur trade industries in the development of Canada, the portrayal of animals in Canadian literature and the current debate over animal rights.
Each year the Centre for Canadian Studies hosts several guest speakers who are invited to share their research and expertise in Canadian culture. This year the Centre is proud to present Dr. Anita Skeen who will be presenting a paper entitled "Canadian Studies: An American Perspective."
The Centre for Canadian Studies is a dynamic group of academics and students committed to exploring the uniqueness of Canada. Come join us!
