So Close Yet So Far Away: American Academics on the Similarities and Differences Between the United States and Canada Following the International Canadian Studies Institute

Faculty members who participated in the International Canadian Studies Institute, an intensive thirteen-day multidisciplinary excursion into western Canada, make sense of their experiences and reflect on how the fellowship will affect their teaching and scholarship. The participants, faculty at universities and colleges in the Pacific Northwest, represent diverse disciplines ranging from anthropology to creative writing to criminal studies. As expected, the personal narratives are as distinct as the collection of fellows. All returned to their home institutions better prepared to infuse Canadian content into their teaching or research, having learned a great deal about Canada.
