Spring 2024: 40th Anniversary Special Issue
Forty years ago, the Robarts Centre for Canadian Studies opened at York University. Since then, much has changed in the country, in the University, and at the Robarts Centre. In this, the first of two issues of Canada Watch focused on those 40 years, we invited contributions from York scholars, staff, visitors to the Centre, and former students who were part of this process. President emeritus Ian Macdonald’s article describes the origins of the Centre and the reasons behind the first focus on the existential “Canada–Québec” question that preoccupied the country during the 1980s. This subject continues in three contemporary essays looking back at that period.
