About

The Canada Seminar examines Canadian economic, social, cultural and political issues, both in their domestic and international dimensions. Presentations are made by public figures, scholars, artists and experts in various fields. The Canada Seminar provides Harvard faculty and students, as well as the broader community, with a window on Canadian scholarly and public life. It seeks to enhance the understanding of the United States' closest ally and largest trading partner, and to provide a forum for a lively exchange of ideas on a wide range of issues. Because Canada and the United States, like many other industrialized countries, must respond to similar economic and social challenges with distinctly different institutional frameworks and historical legacies, the study of Canadian issues offers rich opportunities for scholars engaged in comparative studies.
