3 unit(s)

This course provides an in-depth survey of Canadian history from 1945 to 2000 using as its focus the reformulation, crisis, and renovation of liberal order in northern North America. Themes within this rethinking of Canada include new visions of the role of government in the economic and social order, the rights and duties of the labour movement, the position of women, the role of expertise in the arts and sciences of government, and the growth of a “pedagogical state” increasingly preoccupied with transforming and regulating the cultural world.
