The Council on Foreign Relations fellowship in Canada is intended for mid-career professionals who are interested in spending six to twelve months in Canada deepening their knowledge of the country.

ACSUS is pleased to acknowledge the publication of Promoting Canadian Studies Abroad:  Soft Power and Cultural Diplomacy, edited by Stephen Brooks.  We hope that this publication informs and animates the debate over the resumption of funding by the Canadian government for our global Canadian Studies community.

From the publisher:

With the recent critical and commercial success of the TV adaptation of The Handmaid’s Tale, and the newly released adaptation of Alias Grace, myriad audiences are (re)discovering Canadian Margaret Atwood. This rediscovery follows on the heels of Alice Munro’s 2013 Nobel prize for literature, and suggests that conditions are favourable for reinvigorating an interest in Canadian women’s writing that goes beyond the established, now-canonical writers like Atwood and Munro.
