European Summer School in Canadian Studies 2020

University of Vienna& University of Insbruck, Vienna & Innsbruck/Austria

June 20 – July 10, 2020

https://canada.univie.ac.at/esscs-2020/about-the-esscs/ 

 

Deadline: February 15, 2020

 

The current political constellation in North America has brought Canada
diplomatically closer to the European Union and asks for a better reciprocal
understanding of the two partners with regard to cultural, political, and
economic issues. The European Summer School in Canadian Studies is the first
of its kind to meet these new demands and to support aspiring students and
young researchers in building international networks. It addresses the
multidisciplinary field of Canadian Studies, aiming to bring students from
various countries in Europe and beyond together to strengthen the dialogue
between the many disciplines that make up Canadian Studies: literary and
cultural studies, indigenous studies, media studies, linguistics, history,
cultural geography, political sciences, sociology, gender studies, and
economics. It offers high-potential MA/MEd and PhD students in the
Humanities and Social Sciences critical perspectives on national myths and
stereotypes.

 

Teaching Concept: 

The European Summer School in Canadian Studies offers an academic programme
in Canadian Studies, which combines a master-class format (including case
study units) with independent study and a cultural programme. The schedule
alternates between plenary or input sessions and group work to enhance
students’ active participation. Students conclude the programme with a
portfolio that collects preparatory activities, results from on-site
activities, general and particular tasks across different disciplines and a
final, evaluative reflection on the programme. The European Summer School in
Canadian Studies offers students from various disciplines the possibility to
enrich their previous expertise and to develop interdisciplinary and
transferrable skills.

 

Certificate in Canadian Studies: 

The programme is compatible with various MA/MEd curricula and PhD
programmes. Upon completion, participants receive a certificate (5 ECTS, 125
hours workload total, including preparatory readings, course work and
portfolio).

 

Target Group:  MA/MEd students and emerging scholars (PhD) interested in
Canadian or North American Studies

 

Languages of Instruction: English and French (participants are required to
be fluent in one of these languages; ideally, the second language should be
level A2). Teaching material will be made available in either English or
French. To facilitate participation across language boundaries, translations
and summaries will be provided, where necessary.
