Citizenship in Canada: A History Workshop

Thursday, June 19, 9:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. and Friday, June 20, 9:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.
Canadian Museum for Human Rights

Citizenship can have many different meanings. In Canada, citizenship is bound up with questions of national identity and inclusion, particularly for immigrants and refugees. Canadian citizenship has operated at cross-purposes with Indigenous legal frameworks and kinship practices, and alongside legal status under the Indian Act. In this two-day workshop, a group of leading Canadian historians explore the meanings of citizenship in Canada from the nineteenth century to the present.

Speakers: Wendell Adjetey, Ryan Eyford, Jay Lalonde, Lianne Leddy, Mary Jane Logan McCallum, Melanie Ng, Ben Nobbs-Thiessen, Émilie Pigeon, and Jennifer Tunnicliffe
