Canadian Studies

The Canadian Studies program promotes courses, and organizes speakers, colloquia, film festivals, and other activities, to bring Canada to life at Princeton. We also offer funding for undergraduates, graduate students, and faculty who are conducting research in or about Canada, and we encourage departments to nominate outstanding senior theses for the annual Challener Senior Thesis Prize.

Established in 2000 in honor of Professor Richard D. Challener, Princeton Class of 1944.  The Challener Prize is awarded by the Faculty Committee on Canadian Studies to an undergraduate senior in any department or program who shall have sumitted a senior thesis of outstanding quality on a topic having to do with Canada.

• William W. Ellis, French & Italian: “The Acadian Sense of Self: Faith, Family and Frenchness”
• Christopher T. Green, Art & Archaeology: “Between Two Worlds: Norval Morrisseau as a Case Study for the Shaman Artist”

Canadian Studies contributed to the support of Sharon Moore, 2012-2013 guest artist for the Princeton Atelier Program.  She is a Canadian choreographer.  There is more information about Sharon on the Princeton Atelier website.
