Section Description

As Americans, we take our relationship with Canada entirely for granted. Yet present peaceful (or, at times, prickly) relations between the two countries belies a long and dynamic history of military invasion, trade and investment, bi-national labor struggles, an often-uneasy defensive alliance in NORAD and NATO, and the aggressive export of American popular culture, all of which has shaped the development and character of both the U.S. and Canada. Through lectures, readings, film and image, one paper, and one research exercise, students will explore the rich political, economic and cultural Canadian American interrelationship from the American Revolution to the present. A field trip to Ottawa is planned.
