Canada in the Classroom brings guest speakers into existing UC Berkeley classes, in any discipline, to speak on Canadian topics. Berkeley faculty who request Canada in the Classroom support, usually in the form of a modest stipend to visiting experts, are customarily asked to make their class open to affiliates of the Canadian Studies program on the day of the guest lecture.
