This conference
is aimed at those who teach cultural material as part of Anglophone Area studies

Canadian Studies) as well as those involved in teaching elements of Anglophone
cultures in Education, Film, History, Media/Media Communications, Human
Geography, Postcolonial Studies and Sociology courses. The focus of the

strategies to provide students with a framework for reflecting upon
intercultural differences and to develop ways of assessing the effectiveness of
such teaching.
