Canadian Research Consortium on Southern Africa

The Consortium's main objective is to reinforce and augment the capacity of Candian universities and other research institutions to undertake research on teaching and Southern Africa in the social sciences and humanities. CRCSA also acts as a resource for information and analysis on Southern Africa for government, the media and the general public.

The Consortium's activities include the following elements: regular research seminars and workshops; policy seminars; collaborative research projects; publications; the development of a computerised catalogue of all Canadian holdings on Southern Africa; a register of Canadian scholars and graduate students in this field; a graduate summer school; assistance to graduate students working on the region; links with Southern African research institutions; and a programme of visiting scholars.

CRCSA's offices are housed at McGill University in Montreal. Other Canadian universities supporting its programme include: Universite du Quebec a Montreal, Queen's and Carleton.

In compiling this collection, CRCSA has contacted all known Canadian academics teaching on Southern Africa, and has solicited course outlines from departments across the country. Where a course is given regularly, we have tried to include the most recent outline.

Faculty can find out what is being taught by others in their field, and might use these outlines to advise students. Graduate students will find detailed information about graduate courses on Southern Africa. These collected course outlines should also be particularly useful to university libraries.
