Abstract

This chapter, which sets forth the scope and analytical framework of the book, considers the impacts of externality on Canadian expatriate scholars as they approach and construct Canadian identity. We examine how spatial dislocation—i.e., being physically located beyond Canada’s borders—creates a myriad of professional and personal challenges while also generating unique opportunities. The expat Canadianist experience, we argue, is thematically similar in three significant ways. Future support for an international Canadian Studies program should directly work to engage the Canadian expat academic community.
