A History of Canada in 10 Objects

3 credits · Undergraduate

This introductory survey course explores the history of Canada from the decades leading to Confederation and up to 1970 through 10 different objects. That is, through the study of a selected object, students will examine different social, cultural, political, and economic events and issues that have shaped Canada as a nation. The study of objects is designed to ground the historical record in a material object, while encouraging students to question Canada’s history beyond the text, disrupting dominant historical narratives that have customarily shaped our knowledge of Canada and its history.
