4 UNIVERSITY COLLEGE ALUMNI MAGAZINE SPRING 2007 SPOTLIGHT UC Canadian Studies Alumni Jim Williamson (UC ‘82) Shaping Canadian Identity By Kathleen Sandusky

UC alumnus Jim Williamson has had a hand in shaping the way we as Canadians see ourselves. A long-time CBC journal- ist and recipient of three Gemini awards, Williamson was a senior producer for The Greatest Canadian and directed two episodes of the acclaimed documentary series Canada: A People’s History. He has also served as senior producer of The Fifth Estate and executive producer of Disclosure, and has held numerous positions at The National and The Journal. Through it all, Williamson credits his education at UC and UofT as an important career asset: “I’m often amazed at how so many of the things I loved about my education at UofT would serve me so well later on.” Jim Williamson on the set of The Greatest Canadian The son of the distinguished Canadian career diplomat Kenneth Williamson, tional relations, but increasingly found as a journalist with an interest in interna- Jim Williamson grew up indirectly rep- himself drawn to Canadian social his- tional stories, but soon shifted his focus to resenting Canada to the world as his tory, eventually joining the Canadian Canada. “I came to realize that the most father’s ambassadorships carried his Studies Students’ Union.

Canadian Studies Program Students

UC’s Canadian Studies Program attracts students from a variety of fields, includ- ing law, politics, art, literature, history and sociology. Upon graduation, these students carry with them the ability to view Canada through a wide and multi- faceted lens. Part of what attracts students to the program is its multidisciplinary approach to learning, an approach that is a core philosophy of education at UC. Imogen Byers, a third-year student and chair of the Canadian Studies Student Union, started her university career plan- ning a straightforward study of politics, fol- lowed by law. It was a first-year Canadian politics course that steered her toward the Canadian Studies Program: “I realized that there was so much I didn’t know about Canada,” she recalls.

The Follies started a lot of careers.” Among the people who got their start in the Follies were his brother Earl Pomerantz (UC ‘66) (now a suc- cessful television writer), and his soon- to-be writing partner (UC ‘66). Pomerantz went on to have a career that included writing, producing or performing in several Canadian radio UC Follies circa 1940s shows, Laugh-In, The Hart and Lorne UC Follies circa 1940s Hour and This is the Law. way he did, says Michaels. “It was UC Follies Alumni formative for him and for me.
