This has long been a strength of our Department, with twelve faculty members Pamela Banting, Christian Bök, Donna Coates, Richard Davis, Jon Kertzer, Robert Majzels, Suzette Mayr, Victor Ramraj, Susan Rudy, Aritha van Herk, Harry Vandervlist, Rachel Zolf now working in the area. The University of Calgary is known as an important centre of Canadian studies, attracting graduate students from across Canada and abroad. The Special Collections in the University Library is an excellent resource (see library support document), and there is also a fertile connection with our creative writing program and with writers in residence brought in by the Calgary Distinguished Writers Program. Together these have provided a rich setting for study and research.
