Given that there is now little financial support for institutions, courses and conferences, instructors must ensure that courses in Canadian Studies are engaging and accessible in order for the discipline to stay relevant within this new fiscal reality. One solution could be to use innovative teaching techniques to demonstrate the value of Canadian Studies as an academic discipline. My experience at the Centre of Canadian Studies (the Centre), University of Edinburgh provides a case study for the use of this approach. In a first-year undergraduate course at the Centre, offered in 2009-10, I used role play to teach the arguments for and against the establishment of Canada wherein each student took on the guise of a specific delegate at the 1864 Charlottetown Conference and argued the case in an open debate. This exercise simultaneously allowed me to deliver the necessary content while also providing students with the opportunity to immerse themselves in the core arguments and characters. As a result, barriers to learning were reduced as content became more accessible and the interdisciplinary nature of Canadian Studies became more evident because each student approached the exercise from their own subject specialism.","PeriodicalId":202897,"journal":{"name":"Southern Journal of Canadian Studies","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132383697","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Acknowledging that curriculum, which ontologically and epistemologically influences the norms and values of the learning environment, is not a neutral document (Ross 2001, 1) the authors focus on how they enact curricula outside of Canada to discuss issues of rights and diversity as well as to challenge hegemonic narratives of white Canadian nation-building and historiography and ideas of Canada as a benevolent nation-state. Specifically, the authors examine (1) the ways in which assumptions about power and privilege play out in the classroom by either reinforcing or challenging established North/South relations; (2) how the black Canadian experience can be used to disrupt the U.S. black nationalist discourse and allow for an elaboration of the black or African Diaspora; (3) how dominant notions of gender, race and sexuality are articulated differently outside a Canadian landscape; and (4) Canadian-Caribbean relations when it comes to teaching and learning across borders through student exchange programmes.","PeriodicalId":202897,"journal":{"name":"Southern Journal of Canadian Studies","volume":"112 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133380174","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This is a vertical approach to social injustice. Instead of taking this approach, I take a horizontal approach that seeks to determine whether there are logics that produce disadvantage that are invisible to the vertical understandings of socially constructed group--‐ differentiated disadvantage. To this end, I critically consider the relationships between disadvantaged groups by reflecting on the experiences of Black Canadians and Canadian Aboriginals. Their experiences reveal the underbelly of Canadian multiculturalism and of discourses of membership and belonging. I explore the ways in which these groups have potentially complex and conflicting modes of injustice that elicit potentially conflicting and complex prescriptions. Recognizing this has the potential to facilitate a finer--‐grained sensitivity to the description and potential amelioration of group--‐differentiated disadvantage and to problematize discourses of membership and belonging in their instantiation in current Canadian practices, norms, and governing arrangements.

Canadian political culture will be defined here as that collation of ideas, principles, thoughts and opinions which foster the establishment and continuation of a set of political structures and institutions which are liberal democratic at their foundations. With this as a guiding definition the article examines the “paradigm shifts” in the study of English Canadian political culture that have taken place from the days of “The Makers of Canada,” through the ascendancy of the “Fragment Thesis,” to the more contemporary postmodernism of the “Liberal Order Framework.” The foundational assumption of the article is that debate and discussion about the Canadian experience in such fields as political philosophy, intellectual history, party ideology, constitutional structure, legislative procedure, executive power, judicial authority and local governance will tend to be shaped by the historiographical paradigm which has been most successful in making itself the accepted “orthodoxy” in the academic and intellectual circles of the period.
