As novelist and essayist John Ralston Saul put it, our “strange peculiarities” help make Canada not only unique and exciting but also a complex and “perpetually incomplete experiment.” When you study Canadian Studies at Carleton University, you’ll be engaging in an intellectual examination of this constantly changing experiment. Drawing on the insights and research of art and architecture, literature and language studies, history and politics, sociology and religion, Aboriginal studies and women’s studies (to name only some of the relevant areas), the Canadian Studies program at Carleton seeks to encourage new ways of exploring Canada and the diverse peoples, places, and practices located within its boundaries.
