Living in Montreal: Ethnicity and "Race" From the Past to the Present
What does it mean to be a Québécois and a Montréalais? Debates, at times acrimonious about systemic racism, reasonable accommodation, the proposed Charter of Values, and Bill 21 have dominated public discourse in Québec for more than a decade. To place these deliberations in perspective, this multidisciplinary seminar, with the participation of academic guest speakers and community workers, takes a close look at ethnicity, ‘race’, gender and class in Montreal from the nineteenth century to contemporary society. Community-engaged learning internships (in a remote setting) will be offered in well-known Montreal organizations.
