Centre of Canadian Studies

Introduction

The Centre of Canadian Studies was established in 1975. It is the longest running centre outside Canada. Through those years, it has established itself as the leading centre for research on Canada and Quebec in the UK.

The Centre provides a forum for researchers from across the University. However, its research focus lies primarily in the social sciences, in politics and international relations, sociology, social anthropology and social policy. It enjoys excellent relations with the Canadian High Commission in the UK and the Délégation Générale du Québec à Londres.

The Centre is active among networks of people interested in the study of Canada and Quebec in the UK, such as:

• British Association for Canadian Studies
• Quebec and French Canada Research Network

However, the study of Canada and Quebec features more generally in discipinary networks in the UK in which our members are active, such as:

• Centre on Constitutional Change
• Territorial Politics Group, Political Studies Association

and in Canada:

• Canadian Political Science Association
• Canadian Sociology Association
