PSCI 392

The topic for 2021-2022 is Politics of Resentment in Canada. This course examines the politics of resentment in Canada, focusing on intergroup conflict and divisions within the Canadian federation. The course will explore the major “fault lines” that shape Canadian politics, including tensions regarding language, regionalism, race and immigration, Indigenous relations, and gender equality. We will also assess how Canadian political institutions—including the electoral system, party system, courts, media, and more—respond and/or contribute to such tensions.
