Oh Canada

Professor Sammy Basu PhD Office Hours: MW 1:50-3:00pm or by appt with Writing Center Associate Max Peterson

COURSE DESCRIPTION

Oh Canada! Where is it? What is it? How and why is it different from America? What can we learn about ourselves by getting to know our northern neighbor? To what extent do we define ourselves in relation to an ‘Other’? This course begins with a beer commercial and ends by reflecting on competing visions of the future of North America. Along the way, we will look at Canadian history, geography, politics, and culture, consider the place of First Nations and Québec, as well as explore public policies towards health-care, welfare, religion, gender and sexuality, crime, the environment, multiculturalism, and war and peace. We will visit the web a great deal in class, host a guest speaker or two, and try to imitate the great Canadian thespian William Shatner.
