About

The American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress and the Embassy of Canada together with the provinces of Alberta, Manitoba, Ontario and Quebec join in welcoming the public to Borderlines/ Borderlands: Culture and the Canada-US International Boundary, a free symposium featuring leading Canadian and US scholars, which explored the history and culture of regions, communities, and their residents along the Canada-U.S. border. The lands adjacent to the Canada-U.S. border form a cultural region that is distinct from other areas of both countries. During the symposium, participants examined the area's cultural expressions. Panel 1: Borderlines & Borderlands" includes Victor Konrad, Carleton University speaking on "Imagination, Identity, Affinity, and the Social Construction of Borderlands Culture," and Randy Widdis speaking on "Looking Through the Mirror: Historical Geographical Reflections On Our Common Border." This panel is followed by the keynote address by David Hackett Fischer, "One Continent, Many Cultures."
