The Centre for Scottish Studies has a new name! We are now the Research Centre for Scottish Studies! Founded at 丁香园AV in 1998, our Research Centre is a joint venture between faculty members and individuals in the community. We are located at , which provides a focal point for faculty, students, and members of the general public who are interested in exploring Scottish history and culture and the connections between Scotland and Canada in the contemporary global landscape.
The Research Centre conducts and mobilizes research in the area of Scottish Studies. Our research activities include collaborative projects with colleagues in Canada, the United States and the United Kingdom; conferences and symposia; the Oral History project; an annual St. Andrew's and Caledonian Society talk; and an annual Tartan Day event.
As the only institution in Western Canada with a Scottish studies focus, we collaborate with other academic institutions in Canada interested in Scottish Studies, and we offer working in the area of Scottish studies.
