A Cultural and Intellectual History of Canada

From long houses to skyscrapers, from oral legends to action comics, from petroglyphs to abstract paintings, Canada’s architects, writers and painters have shaped and reflected Canada’s cultural and intellectual development. This survey course, covering the period from pre-Contact to 1967, demonstrates how literature, art and architecture offer multi-dimensional and fresh perspectives on Canadian history. Credit will be granted for only one of HIST 300 or ART 300. Six credits. Not offered 2026-2027.
