Canadian Diversity in Comparative Perspective
Themes
How does diversity transform contemporary societies? This course contextualizes Canada’s response to diversity by exploring the various facets of multiculturalism and citizenship as ideals, policies, and theories. Starting from the lived experience of minority groups as well as theoretical concepts, we will reflect on the challenges of maintaining bonds of community in diverse societies. The course will focus on Canada but will draw on the experience of other countries.
