Canadians and Americans: Our Converging Character

In the Eighteen Annual J.R. Mallory Lecture in Canadian Studies, Andrew Cohen, who has studied and worked in the United States, examines why Canadians remain deeply skeptical of Americans even as we become more like them in social, cultural and political ways – and they become more like us.

The New York Times has called Andrew Cohen one of Canada's "most distinguished authors." A former foreign correspondent for The Globe and Mail and a syndicated columnist for Postmedia Newspapers, he has won two National Newspaper Awards and three National Magazine Awards. Among his bestselling books are While Canada Slept: How We Lost Our Place in the World, a finalist for The Governor General's Literary Award; The Unfinished Canadian: The People We Are; and Extraordinary Canadians: Lester B. Pearson. Mr. Cohen appears frequently on television and radio as commentator on history, citizenship, and politics. The founding president of The Historica-Dominion Institute, he is a professor of journalism and international affairs at Carleton University in Ottawa.
