Questions for Research (September 2023)
HIS2100 class members will determine the research questions that we will pursue during the course of the semester. The following questions strike us as relevant.
- How did francophone identity evolve on campus in reaction to Quebec's silent revolution and increasing enrollment of anglophone students?
- How was the North American counterculture movement reflected, expressed, and experienced on the campus of the University of Ottawa?
- How were headline national events like the October Crisis, Summit Series, and OPEC embargo felt and experienced?
- How did more women trekking to campus, the availability of birth control and the “free love” philosophy reshape gender relations, dating, and sexuality on campus?
- How did popular culture like rock and roll, television, and films influence students and their experience on campus?
- How did the campus, classroom environment, and local amenities pattern student social life?
