Fifth Biennial Colloquium in Canada. Simon Fraser University, Harbour Centre, Vancouver, Canada. International scholars have previously = examined convergence and divergence in the development of Canada and the United States as nations, societies, and polities. Usually scholars in = particular disciplines have compared developments of different emergent phenomena: respective frontiers, emergent values, integration processes, or the = nature of the state, among others. Recently, Associations and Centres for = Canadian Studies, however, have found that convergence and divergence in = respective developments in Canada and the US is hotly debated and of great = scholarly interest to Canadianists in a variety of disciplines, not only in North America, but also overseas. Therefore, rather than examining such = emergent phenomena in only one discipline this colloquium fosters their = examination in a broad range of disciplines. Our call for papers has struck an = interest among scholars and researchers who focus on the convergence and = divergence in the development of Canada and the United States as nations, = societies, polities, and traders. They will compare and debate their pre-submitted papers to engender new ideas across disciplines in a number of research areas as can be seen in our list of sessions. Sponsored by The Centre = for Canadian Studies at Simon Fraser University, the Association for = Canadian Studies in the United States (ACSUS), Canadian Studies Center at the University of Washington, and the Center for Canadian-American Studies = at Western Washington University.
