What's This All About?

The Canadian Studies Interest Group (CANSIG) encourages teaching and scholarship on Canada. A northern perspective on human-environment, social, and international relations can provoke fresh thinking and creative solutions in today's complex and interconnected world. Give it a try!

Western Oregon University is a founding member of the Pacific Northwest Canadian Studies Consortium (PNWCSC) and works closely with this group to share information and expertise. The Government of Canada actively supports Canadian Studies at US universities; CANSIG forwards information on these opportunities to interested scholars. The Canada-America Society sponsors scholarships for US students to study at Canadian Universities.

CANSIG provides information about resources at the Western Oregon University, including faculty and staff members with expertise in Canadian Studies, study abroad programs, internships, course offerings and syllabi, journals, and films. This year we received a Program Enhancement Grant from the Government of Canada to expand Canadian studies at Western. Check our Upcoming Events link as speakers, film festivals, and celebrations are organized. Join us--attend, study, research, contribute--and eventually our group will evolve into an academic program!
