This course will examine questions of Canadian identity and culture from both a national and a regional perspective, particularly the Muskokas and Northern Ontario. Topics will include such issues as the role of WWI in Canadian identity, radio broadcasting, and cultural nationalism, but the course will focus on exploring the links between this region and the larger Canadian story, as in the case of the Group of Seven, outdoor recreation and tourism, Grey Owl, and Stephen Leacock.
