Multiculturalism in Canada 2 Conference
The third Canadian Studies Conference entitled Multiculturalism in Canada 2 took place on November 20th, 2015 at the Faculty of Humanities.
Due to the success and the topicality of last year’s theme, multiculturalism, this year’s Canadian Studies Conference was focusing on the same theme again. Counsellor Michael Horler (Embassy of Canada), Canadian playwright and scriptwriter Jason Sherman, and Judit Molnár (University of Debrecen) delivered the keynote lectures, which were followed by Judit Kádár’s introduction of the Hungarian Network for Canadian Studies. The two parallel sessions held in the afternoon also included presentations by students as the Canada Center of the university finds supporting future Canadianists an important mission.
The traditional teacher training event hosted a presentation by our alumna, Viktória Sipos, who is a part-time lecturer at the Department of English Linguistics, and the workshop of the “Canada in the English Classroom” Research Group of Károli University. The conference was concluded with the screening of one of Jason Sherman’s films, We Were Children and this year, the introduction to the film was presented by Mr. Sherman himself.
