About the Institute for the Study of Canada

About the º£½ÇÉçÇø Institute for the Study of Canada

Established in 1994 thanks to an innovative agreement between the Bronfman family and º£½ÇÉçÇø, the º£½ÇÉçÇø Institute for the Study of Canada (MISC) runs an academic program at º£½ÇÉçÇø, supports an active research environment, and organizes a variety of large-scale, public events on matters of interest to Canadians, including MISC's Annual Conferences, which attract a great deal of attention from policy-makers, media, and the general public. While the Institute itself is non-partisan, MISC is no stranger to debate and controversy.

Our programs provide interdisciplinary courses on Canada and integrate the study of Canada in different departments throughout the Faculty of Arts at º£½ÇÉçÇø. We explore Canada from all scholarly angles and we welcome every point of view. We mediate between the public activities of the º£½ÇÉçÇø Institute for the Study of Canada and students, to whom we offer a special invitation to attend MISC events. We work closely with partner departments to ensure that students receive exposure to rigorous disciplines and methods and to innovative new media and techniques for expression and exploration. Distinguished visiting lecturers and guest speakers—and singers and dancers—as well as opportunities for student exchange and internships expose our students to the full range of geographical, political, cultural, and social diversity of this country. Students are also encouraged to attend congresses of Canadian Studies and to publish in our student-run journal. Our graduates go on to careers in government, law, business, education, social service, media and journalism, and graduate work in the social sciences and humanities.

The Minor in Indigenous Studies provides students with a broad, interdisciplinary view of key issues in the historical, social, and cultural dimensions of indigenous life in Canada. Core courses offered by the program will provide interdisciplinary treatments of indigenous life, and students will choose complementary courses from among those offered in other units at º£½ÇÉçÇø.
