  • Canada in the Classroom
    Canada in the Classroom Notes to Accompany PowerPoint Presentation (Given at the Canadian Consulate in Denver in September 2005) by Nadine Fabbi, University of Washington Slide #1 – Canadian Studies in the U.S. This power point presentation will introduce you to Canadian Studies in the U.S. and to the rationale behind international education in the U.S. It will orient you to the Canadian Studies “community” and answer the question, “Why study Canada?” In addition, the presentation will provide a quick overview of Canadian-American history and the Linking: Connecting Canadian History to the U.S. curriculum modules available on the K-12 STUDY CANADA website. Slide #2 – Sputnik 1 In 1957, at the height of the Cold War, the Soviet Union launched the first artificial satellite – Sputnik 1. Its launch kicked off the Space Race but, more important to this discussion, the U.S. responded by setting in place a reform movement in science and international education. Millions of dollars were immediately poured into scientific research and international education and the U.S. Department of Education’s International Programs were created. (The largest increase in funding in international programs since that time came after 9/11.) The U.S. defined international education as critical to global competitiveness and to the peaceful resolution of conflict. And, as our world shrinks in size, international studies is increasingly relevant. Slide #3 – Map with National Resource Centers One of the many federally-funded international programs are the Title VI programs whose mandate is to increase international studies content in teaching and research not only at the level of higher education, but also with the general public, business, media, the government, and for K-12 educators.

Drawing upon extensive manuscript research, it focuses on the reign of Mary I (1553-1558), when the official return to Roman Catholicism was accompanied by the prosecution of Protestants for heresy, and the reign of Elizabeth I (1558-1603), when the state religion again shifted to Protestantism. I argue that the cognitive dissonance created by these seesaw changes of official doctrine necessitated a society in which religious mutability became standard operating procedure. For most early modern men and women it was impossible to navigate between the competing and contradictory dictates of Tudor religion and politics without conforming, dissimulating, or changing important points of conscience and belief.
