Description
In this UBC Graduate and Faculty Christian Forum Professor Egerton will examine the changing nature and definitions of Canadian pluralism, focusing specifically on whether multiculturalism, after its inauguration in 1971, was able to recognize religion, along with language and ethnicity, as a constituent part of Canadian pluralism. Building on his study of Canadian religion, politics, and constitutional development since 1945, he will address the changing nature and definitions of pluralism in Canadian history (1945-1980s) including the Royal Commission on Bilingualism and Biculturalism (1963-1971) and the multiculturalism regimes of the late 1960s-70s. Dr. Egerton will consider whether religion might not need reasonable accommodation within Canadian definitions of pluralism. He is joined in this discussion by John Stackhouse.
