  • Call for Applicants – Dispatcher Series

    Are you an undergraduate student interested in the study of Canada?  Apply to be a Dispatcher!

    Dispatchers will attend three in-person or online events during the academic year and report on what they witness.  By producing a 1000-word blogpost for each event attended, it will be an opportunity to summarize and reflect on different aspects in the study of Canada, from a critical, collaborative and interdisciplinary perspective.  Dispatches will be published on the website of the Robarts Centre for Canadian Studies, with a biographical note of dispatchers.

    This initiative is in collaboration with Brock University, Mount Allison University, and Trent University.

  • CALL FOR MANUSCRIPTS – Reimagining Canada Series

    Canada, in all its messy manifestations, is in transition, but where is it going? With foundational myths eroded, identities fragmented, allegiances contested, the idea of Canada in the hearts and minds of those who live there is under intense scrutiny and careful criticism.  Canada’s place in the wider world is just as uncertain.  Against a backdrop of Covid, decolonization, inflation, immigration, Indigenization and shifting global politics, what might Canada mean in five, ten- or fifty-years’ time?

    Reimagining Canada seeks to understand the forces at work, and to ask what comes next.  Taking a broad and inclusive approach to the study of Canadian culture, history and society, the series interrogates Canada’s past and present in order to suggest possibilities for the future.  Relevant issues might include, but are not limited to: arts and culture, decolonization; digital spaces and media; the future of the Canadian constitution; globalization; healthcare and social services; immigration and multiculturalism; Indigenization; memory and memorialisation; and sovereignty.

    The series is open to scholars and public intellectuals working in all areas of the humanities and social sciences and aims to be interdisciplinary or even post-disciplinary in its approach.  The editors are committed to equity, diversity and inclusion and welcome contributions from scholars of marginalized groups and communities that tend to be disproportionately underrepresented within public discourses in Canada.  As such, they strongly encourage scholars from these groups and communities to contribute to the series.  Contributors are free to self-identify if desired.

    Books in the series are aimed at a more general audience than the traditional academic monograph.  Readers might include undergraduate students, academics working in other fields, practitioners, policymakers, and the public.  The series provides a platform for authors to reach a larger audience than usual, or to speak to new audiences; to deliver bold new arguments; to write unencumbered by the usual obligations for referencing; and to be excited, provocative and even polemical.

    Editors: Gregory Betts (Brock University), Carl Everton James (York University), and Ian McKay (McMaster University).
