This course introduces students to canadian studies as an intellectual movement, briefly examining its origins in 1960s identity politics but paying particular attention to current developments in this field. Instead of promoting the study of canada and attending to ways to keep the country united, contemporary. Canadian studies is aimed at understanding difference in canadian society and examines such things as the way in which the state includes and excludes certain groups, the role of popular culture in articulating.
