HOME AWAY FROM HOME: REFLECTIONS ON THE CANADIAN EXPAT EXPERIENCE
Author and Canadian Studies consultant David Stewart discussed his memoir, True North, Down South. Using a Canadian émigré lens, the essay collection entertains and educates readers about immigrant and national identity, cultural misunderstandings, and belonging in the modern world.
Special guest speaker Teresa Edwards (Young Fire Woman) spoke about Residential and Day Schools, the "Sixties Scoop", and other colonial acts of oppression, and how they continue to impact Indigenous Peoples today. Edwards also discussed how to take action to be an ally and what can be done to foster reconciliation in Canada. A recording of the talk can be found on the World Issues Forum website.
The Center for Canadian-American Studies co-sponsored this event.
Donovan is the illustrator of the book Borders, a middle grade graphic novel about identity and belonging.
The Center for Canadian-American Studies honors Andrea Predko as this year's outstanding graduate.
