A holiday message from Director Hirota

A newsletter from a fellow Canadian organization in the Bay Area.


🌟 Season’s Greetings! 🌟

Dear Michael,

As we enter the final weeks of 2025, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude for your unwavering support of the Canadian Studies Program. This has been an eventful year, marked by new challenges and opportunities in the field of Canadian Studies. Both Canada and the United States are in a period of transition, testing longstanding assumptions about both countries and the Canada-US relationship. Nevertheless, your continued support has enabled us to navigate a changing academic and political landscape with renewed purpose. It is always such a pleasure to engage with our friends, and see the enthusiasm and unique perspectives that you bring to our community.

If you appreciate the work we do, I ask you to consider making a year-end gift to the program. Your donation will help us sustain and expand our public programs, support talented young scholars in the field, and host crucial dialogue between Canadianists from across North America. Your support ensures that we remain a vibrant space for critical conversations, groundbreaking scholarly inquiry, and the celebration of Canada’s rich and diverse heritage.

Make a holiday gift to Canadian Studies! 🎁
Whether through financial contributions, attending our events, or simple encouragement, your continued engagement affirms the value of the work we do. On behalf of our entire team, I wish you a joyful and restful holiday season, and thank you once again for your generosity and belief in our mission.

 

With warmest wishes,

Dr. Hidetaka Hirota
Director, Canadian Studies Program
