Program Description The Canadian philosopher John Ralston Saul noted that Canada’s ”strange peculiarities” make the country unique, exciting, complex and a “perpetually incomplete experiment.” Indigenous and Canadian Studies students at Carleton University will examine this constantly changing country, discovering more about themselves in the process. Drawing on disciplines such as art and architecture, literature and language studies, history and politics, sociology and religion, Indigenous studies and women’s studies (to name only some of the relevant areas), the SICS program at Carleton encourages new ways of exploring Canada and the diverse peoples, places and practices located within its boundaries.
