(Re)Searching for Canadian Studies (CanSearch)

Project Description

This project aims to assess how Canadian Studies is researched and taught outside of Canada, and to foster stronger connections between domestic and international networks in Canadian Studies. Since the federal government stopped funding Canadian Studies abroad in 2012, we are interested in exploring the evolution of the scholarship in international Canadian Studies. We conducted a survey of international Canadianists and a series of interviews with executives and former executives of local associations of Canadian Studies, research centres and units, operating around the world.

Funded by a SSHRC Partnership Development Grant (grant #890-2021-0076) for 2022-2026, this project is also focused on building partnership across various entities involved in the study of Canada. Within the academic community, they involve: the Robarts Centre for Canadian Studies and Glendon College at 快播视频, the School for the 快播视频 of Canada at Trent University, the Centre for Canadian Studies at Mount Allison University, and the Universit茅 de Saint-Boniface. Non-academic partners are the Art Canada Institute and the International Council for Canadian Studies (ICCS).

Ce projet cherche 脿 comprendre comment le Canada est repr茅sent茅 et enseign茅 dans les cercles acad茅miques 脿 l'ext茅rieur du pays, depuis que le gouvernement f茅d茅ral a cess茅 de financer les 茅tudes canadiennes 脿 l鈥櫭﹖ranger en 2012. L鈥檕bjectif 脿 long terme est de favoriser la cr茅ation de liens plus solides entre les r茅seaux d鈥櫭﹖udes canadiennes au Canada et 脿 l鈥檌nternational. Un sondage et des entretiens ont 茅t茅 effectu茅s en 2023 aupr猫s des sp茅cialistes du Canada 脿 l鈥櫭﹖ranger ainsi que leurs associations d鈥櫭﹖udes canadiennes.

Subventionn茅 par le CRSH via une bourse de d茅veloppement partenarial (#890-2021-0076) pour une p茅riode de quatre ans (2022-2026), ce projet a 茅galement permis de consolider des collaborations plus 茅troites entre le Centre d鈥櫭﹖udes canadiennes Robarts et le Coll猫ge universitaire Glendon 脿 l鈥橴niversit茅 York; l鈥櫭塩ole pour l鈥櫭﹖ude du Canada 脿 l鈥橴niversit茅 Trent, le Centre d鈥櫭﹖udes canadiennes 脿 l鈥橴niversit茅 Mount Allison, l鈥橴niversit茅 de Saint-Boniface, l鈥橧nstitut d鈥檃rt canadien ainsi que le Conseil international des 茅tudes canadiennes (CIEC).

Plusieurs activit茅s et ressources ont 茅t茅 cr茅茅es gr芒ce 脿 ce projet, dont un sommet international, des 茅coles d鈥櫭﹖茅, des pr茅sentations, des w茅binaires et des sessions de formation, des publications et une banque de donn茅es. Plusieurs autres activit茅s et ressources seront cr茅茅es en 2025 et 2026. Pour plus de d茅tails en fran莽ais, veuillez 茅crire 脿 casearch@yorku.ca.
