Five College Canadian Studies : Welcome!

Welcome!

The Canadian Studies Program sponsors forums on Canadian history and culture as well as on current issues. From time to time, the program also makes available modest stipends to support faculty and student research or research-related travel to Canada. In the past, many of its activities have been funded by grants from the Canadian Embassy and a modest bequest, as well as the Five College Faculty Seminar Program.

In 1998-99 and 1999-2000, the program co-sponsored a project linking a multidisciplinary team of researchers at the University with a similarly diverse group from Concordia University in Montreal for an exploration of "Identify, Culture, and Citizenship: New Perspectives on Governance in Canada." The project was funded under the Program for International Research Linkages of the International Council for Canadian Studies, which in part supported an ongoing seminar held alternately at the two institutions throughout the 1997-98 academic year. Other sponsoring groups for the project included the University of Massachusetts Translation Center, and the Center for Research on Citizenship and Social Transformation at Concordia University.

The chair of the Five College Canadian Studies Program is Robert Schwartzwald, Associate Professor French and Francophone literature at the University, and chair of the Five College Center for Crossroads in the Study of the Americas (CISA).
