Research summary
The question of language in Canada and the coexistence of its official languages have been central themes in Canadian history. Dr. Michelle Landry, Canada Research Chair in Canadian Francophone Minorities and Power, is looking to shed new light on language-related issues and on the empowerment of Canada’s French-language minorities.
Landry and her research team are examining community governance of minority francophones. They are also analyzing francophone minorities’ relationships with governments, majority anglophone groups and Quebec. Lastly, they are studying local governments as seats of power for francophone minorities.
