The Robarts Centre for Canadian Studies invites applications for the 2020-2021 Robarts Visiting Professorship in Canadian Studies

The Professorship is open to full-time (tenured or tenure-track) faculty members who work on issues concerning Canada and who are based outside the country, are planning to go on sabbatical or other leave during 2020-2021 and have demonstrated scholarly expertise on Canada and a commitment to Canadian studies.

The Professorship will provide the selected faculty member with $2500 CAD in funding to cover travel and accommodations costs while in residence. Visitors will also be offered prime office space in the Centre for the duration of the visit, and they will have access to York Libraries. The Archives of Ontario and the Clara Thomas Archives and Special Collections are also located on campus, and the Environment Canada Library is nearby.

Priority may be given to scholars working in the one of the current main research areas at the Centre:  Cultural expression in the Arctic, Northern Studies, Black Canada, Environmental history and politics, Indigenous Studies, or Canadian culture.  Other approaches will also be considered

The deadline for applications is March 1, 2020.  Applications should be sent to the Robarts Centre at robarts@yorku.ca.
