The academic courses within each theme are required programming in several of our undergraduate degree programs, so Canadian students will be sharing in, and contributing to, your learning. All courses are taught in English except where specified. Confirmation of Language Proficiency required. This short but comprehensive summer program will challenge your understanding of Canadian society through a diversity of experiences.\u00a0<\/b>Click here for flyer<\/a>. 5-26 October, 2006 – Lecture Series – Registration Necessary<\/b> Description:\u00a0<\/b>The Peace Arch marking the boundary between the State of Washington and British Columbia asserts that the United States and Canada are “children of a common mother.” In 1776 the English colonies in North America chose to sever the familial relationship by revolution and war. Canada, more dutifully, retained the monarchy and evolved more slowly into nationhood and independence. Its constitution was created by an act of the British Parliament in 1867, and a Charter of Rights and Freedoms was added in l982. Since then Canada has embraced social policies more akin to those of liberal Scandinavia, even though its Charter seemed like a drawing closer in style to the United States. The United States, it seems, has continued to follow a more traditional course, severely strained by overseas conflicts, natural disasters and immigration issues. The growing disparity, carefully observed by Canadian analysts, seems new but it may indeed have been rooted in the century-old effort on the part of Canada to establish a separate identity on the North American continent, while preserving close ties of friendship with the United States. 27 September-1 November, 2006 – 6-part Lecture Series – Registration Necessary<\/b> Description:\u00a0<\/b>Dr. Douglas Jackson will begin the series by examining the tension that led to the expulsion of Acadian from Nova Scotia. This will include a discussion of the fears both of the New Englanders and the British Military Establishment in Nova Scotia and the danger of a possible alliance between the French in New France (and Fortress Louisbourg) and the Acadians. The second lecture will identify the conflict between New France and the British Atlantic Colonies (essentially Virginia) over the Ohio Valley and its rich agricultural lands and strategic location. Today’s discussion will also look at the role of George Washington as a representative of the colonial Virginia governor in the engagement with the French at Jumonville. The third lecture, Dr. Jackson will discuss the struggle for an important route linking New York with Montreal including the Battle of Lake George, Fort William Henry, the Battle of Carillon, of Ticonderoga, of Oswego, Fort Niagara and the Thousand Islands. The following lecture explores the role played by General Wolfe in the siege of Fortress Louisbourg and the implications of its surrender to the British and Americans. The fifth lecture will look at the leadership of Marquis de Montcalm and General Wolfe through the The Siege of Quebec, the Attack on Beauport, and the Battle of the Plains of Abraham. The lecture series concludes with a discussion on the consequences of the war with implications both for the future of Canada and the struggle for American independence. 6-10 November, 2006 – Lecture Series Nov. 6<\/b>\u00a0Willamette University: Introduction to International Politics course. “Canadian perspectives on international relations.” Nov. 7<\/b>\u00a0Linfield College: International Politics course. “Canada-US Relations.” Nov. 8<\/b>\u00a0Western Oregon University.

And, they need to know how to deal more effectively with Canadians. Most recently the U.S. has passed the “Interim Rule” calling for increased agricultural inspections at the border that Canada says is “unfair” and responsible for a “thickening of the border.” And, Canada also feels the U.S. is subsidizing corn growers creating an inequitable trade environment. These two issues alone will create at least temporary stained relations between the two countries. These issues aren’t going to go away nor should they be expected to. Canada and the U.S. are two different countries representing diverse interests that are driven by different histories and values. The best we can do is to understand more about one another and in the hopes that our communication and interactions can be as effective and respectful as possible. This presentation attempts to explain those differing attitudes and social structures through geography, history, national symbols and other critical social differences between Canada and the U.S. 26 January 2007 – Lecture – Registration Necessary The Canadian Studies Center, Henry M. Jackson School of International Studies and the Northwest Center for Public Health Practice, School of Public Health and Community Medicine request the pleasure of your company at a luncheon with Dr. James Young, Special Advisor to the Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness for the Government of Canada and host, Canadian Consul General, Peter Lloyd.\u00a0Click here for a full biography of Dr. Young and articles attached.<\/a> 1 February 2007 – Seattle<\/b> 1 February 2007 – Seattle<\/b> 3 February, 2007 – Educator Workshop 8 February 2007 – Seattle<\/b> 8 February 2007 – Seattle<\/b> 11 January-8 February 2007\u00a0<\/b> Description:\u00a0<\/b>5-part Lecture Series 22 January-12 February 2007<\/b> Description:\u00a0<\/b>The structure and operation of Britain’s Westminster System of government will be discussed. The critical developments in establishing the modern parliamentary system is reviewed. Samples are drawn from the execution of Charles 1 though the Cromwellian Republic to the Restoration in 1660; William III, Mary II, and Anne. The arrival of the Hanoverians to Victoria, and the ascent of Elizabeth II as the role of the constitutional monarchy has evolved. Comparisons will be drawn with the parliamentary system in Canada and the role of the governor general as the representative of the queen. It is recommended that participants see the film,\u00a0The Queen<\/i>\u00a0(2006) prior or concurrent to the course.\u00a0The Queen<\/i>\u00a0beautifully shows the working of the two principals of the monarchical parliamentary system; the ceremonial and the functional. Sunday, 18 February 2007<\/b> Description:\u00a0<\/b>Northwest Folklife puts a human face on some of today’s hot issues with its Crossing Borders film festival. Nineteen films, scholars and filmmakers examine the experiences of ordinary people who straddle, challenge and transcend both the physical and mental boundaries separating us from one another. Topics range from immigration tales to gender stereotypes, from unlikely peace movements to cross-border musical traditions.<\/p>\n Sunday, February 18 is Northern Borders Day, sponsored by the Canadian Studies Center at the Universityof Washington. All films are made in and about Canada, including Academy Award winning animation Crac!, a classic film about Metis fiddle traditions (Medicine Fiddle), and a tongue-in-cheek look at Canada’s new laws about gay marriage and marijuana (Escape to Canada). Another film not to miss is Spirit Wrestlers,about the Doukhobor communities in eastern British Columbia. Doukhobor scholar Andrei Bondoreff fromUniversity of Victoria will give context for the film.<\/p>\n Crossing Borders Documentary Film Festival kicks off Northwest Folklife’s 2007 season which also includes Borderlands, a cultural focus on communities along the Washington-British Columbia border at the Memorial Day Weekend Northwest Folklife Festival.\u00a0<\/b>Films are to include:<\/p>\n 15 February 2007 15-19 February 2007 – Study Abroad Experience Friday, 1 March 2007 World – Languages Day<\/b> 1-2 March 2007 – Graduate Symposium <\/a>9-11 March 2007 – Educator Workshop – $160 17 March 2007 – Mosaic K-8 Educator Workshop – $45<\/b> Description:<\/b>\u00a0Join the Jackson School Outreach Centers for a delightful day learning to make folk arts from around the world. Hands-on sessions will put educators to work cutting, stitching, and pounding their way to a new appreciation and understanding of world cultures through folk tales, crafts and toys. A special keynote session will introduce toys and tales from around the world with the nationally acclaimed Rick Hartman “The Teaching Toymaker” presenting his Wonderglobe. Following the keynote, participants will select from a series of break-out sessions that explore storytelling traditions, toys and traditional crafts from various world regions. Come to the program ready to get to work, and leave with cultural knowledge and a bagful of craft projects to take back to the classroom. 26-28 March, 2007 – Continuing Education Course<\/b> Description:<\/b>\u00a0The title describes the experiences of 6 or 7 young men who in the l8th century came to North America to fight in the French and Indian War and\/or the War of the American Revolution. Little did they realize that their efforts would ultimately lead to the creation of Canada, as a product of the conflicts. More effort must be given to these brave young men, military-career oriented, who at the time fought only against the enemy as described.<\/p>\n <\/a>31 March, 2007 – 7th Annual Documentary Film Workshop Description:\u00a0<\/b>In this half-day workshop, University of Washington professors will introduce educators to documentary films that can be used to teach students about cultural diversity and cross-cultural understanding. This year’s workshop will feature films dealing with issues in Latin America, Europe and Canada. The films provide excellent teaching “tools” for introducing diversity and cross-cultural issues into your classrooms today. The workshop provides an opportunity to enhance that learning to include critical social issues at the international level. 2-25 April 2007 – Clandestine Truth: The New Canadian Wave Film Festival<\/b> <\/a>Saturday, April 7 by Dr. Taiaiake Alfred, Professor and Director, Indigenous Governance Program, University of Victoria<\/p>\n 11-14 April, 2007 – Conference Presentation The following UW faculty\/students are presenting their research at the WSSA conference:<\/p>\n “Crossing Arctic Borders: A computer-based analysis of disparities between American, Canadian and Inuit conceptualizations of the Northwest Passage,” by Timothy James Pasch, Doctoral Candidate, Communication, University of Washington “We Want Cake Too!

\nTeachable Traditions: Tales, Toys and Crafts from Around the World<\/b><\/p>\n
\nKeynote Speaker: Rick Hartman is a professional toy designer, teacher and performer whose interactive programs and whimsical, patented inventions have gained widespread recognition in America for more than a decade. Nicknamed “The Teaching Toymaker,” Rick makes hundreds of public appearances each year, bringing his wholly original brand of “Hands-on, Minds-on Entertainment” to venues around the U.S. . Formerly a journalist and public school teacher, Rick has been called “a uniquely inspiring and creative educator” by the Smithsonian Institution’s Michael Judd. In the captivating style he’s honed over more than a decade as ‘The Toymaker,’ Rick takes audiences on a journey of the imagination that inspires, instructs, and entertains. From a Brazilian tortoise that plays the flute to a man-eating, mechanical chicken from the Czech Republic , Rick reaches deeply into his bag of tricks, combining a masterful teacher’s instinct with an off-the-wall, professional toy inventor’s wit.<\/p>\n
