Studies in Canadian Social History

Graduate

The course discusses approaches, methods, and debates in the writing of social history in English Canada since 1970. Topics discussed include historiographical debates over the writing of a "national" history, the writing of labour and working-class history, women's history, ethnic and immigration history, the history of sexuality, regional history, and family history. How the categories of class, gender, race, ethnicity and sexuality have been incorporated into the writing of Canadian social history is a focus of consideration.
