  • New course for the Winter 2014 session - Living in Montreal: The History of Ethnicityfrom the 19th Century to ContemporarySociety (Professor Mary Anne Poutanen, Monday 2:35 p.m. – 5:25 p.m.)

In light of the 2008 Bouchard-Taylor Commission report, public deliberationsabout reasonable accommodation, and the debates of the 2012 Québec election campaignon secularization and identity, this seminar focuses on ethnicity in Montréal from thenineteenth century to contemporary society. The course takes into account both the city’smultiethnic character and the methodologies that scholars have developed to studyethnicity. An historical approach provides an opportunity to examine and to understandpast and present challenges to and opportunities for rapprochement between allMontrealers and the rest of Québec. Therefore, we will examine how various groupsformed different communities, interacted with one another, earned their living, andresponded to diverse political regimes. In deconstructing the changing discourses aroundnationalism, we will also explore who was considered Quebecois(e) and who wascategorized as the “Other”.This interdisciplinary seminar has been designed to provide students with avariety of learning opportunities. They will be introduced to key publications ofhistorians, geographers, anthropologists, sociologists, and political scientists, to scholarswho do cutting-edge research on aspects of ethnicity in Montréal, and to communityleaders and workers who deal directly with the city’s various cultural communities.
