 tanding Canada” program in 2012. More than 10 years after this change\, in
 ternational Canadianists have a varied teaching and research agenda. Durin
 g this time\, Canadian society grappled with many significant milestones\,
  including the calls to actions from the Truth and Reconciliation Commissi
 on of Canada. In this lecture\, Jean Michel will explore the current teach
 ing and research agendas of international Canadianists based on survey and
  interview findings. Amid the lack of federal support to cultural diplomac
 y mechanisms like “Understanding Canada\,” the field’s focus on Canada’s r
 elationship to Indigenous Peoples\; multiculturalism\, immigration and div
 ersity\; and the environment come with opportunities\, challenges and supp
 ort needs that will also be discussed.\n\nJean Michel Montsion is a Profes
 sor in the Canadian Studies Program\, Department of Social and Global Stud
 ies\, Glendon College\, York University. He also serves as the Director of
  the Robarts Centre for Canadian Studies at York. His research interests i
 nclude Canadian gateway cities\, student migration and the study of Canada
  abroad. He is currently the principal investigator on the SSHRC Partnersh
 ip Development Grant examining the current state of the network of interna
 tional Canadian Studies.\n\nThe lecture will be followed by a Q&A and rece
 ption. This event is free and open to public\; registration is required vi
