Ellis, Heather Menzies, James Page, Patricia Whitney University Visitor: John Fraser Fellows: Blair Neatby, Gordon Robertson The School of Canadian Studies offers a program of study and research leading to the degree of Master of Arts in Canadian Studies. The work of the School is conducted with the assistance of faculty and availability of coursework in a variety of supporting departments including: Architecture, Art History, Economics, English, Film Studies, French, Geography, History, Journalism and Communication, Law, Linguistics and Applied Language Studies, Music, Political Science, Psychology, Public Administration, Religion, Social Work, Sociology and Anthropology, and Women's Studies. The Canadian Studies program is interdisciplinary in emphasis. It enables students in the School to develop individual areas of concentration to meet particular interests in a broad range of Canadian issues. The proximity of Carleton University to the National Library, the National Gallery of Canada, the national museums, the Library of Parliament, the Public Archives of Canada, Statistics Canada, and the libraries of various government departments and embassies, ensures excellent research facilities for graduate candidates in Canadian Studies. With the aid of a grant from the Donner Foundation, the School has initiated a program area of Northern and Native studies. The same conditions and requirements apply as in other program areas; however, special consideration may be given to candidates for admission who have extensive knowledge of the north or of native peoples, and the language requirement may be met by a demonstrated knowledge of an aboriginal Canadian language in addition to English or French. In 1983-84, a program area of women's studies was instituted. Both interdisciplinary and comparative in focus, the program permits students to examine the interplay within the Canadian context between gender and race, gender and nationality, gender and class, and sex/gender as a dynamic principle in the process of imperialism, nation building, and the construction of national and ethnic identities. Since 1986, the School has offered a program area in Canadian culture and cultural policy. Students with a broad interest in traditional and popular culture, music, art, film, literature and performing arts will find the program's interdisciplinary approach to cultural theory and practice of value. A program area in heritage conservation began in 1989-90. With an interdisciplinary focus on the Canadian built environment, the program permits the course of study to be tailored to individual interest and backgrounds. The Department of Leisure Studies at Ottawa University, the Heritage Canada Foundation, and the Canadian Parks Service at Environment Canada cooperate in offering the program. The School also runs an advanced summer program from mid-May to mid-August. The format includes credit and non-credit courses, seminars, and public events. Write to the School of Canadian Studies for information about summer 1994.
