Welcome to the Teaching page of Clifford J. Jansen
This year, 2004-2005, I will be conducting
a 4th Year Seminar on Italians in Italy and in Canada, SOCI4230 6.0A. Since arriving in
Canada in 1968 I have always been interested in Italian Immigrants. This interest springs
from the fact that I lived in Italy for two years. Also, when I was completing my
Sociological Thesis in Louvain University, Belgium, I carried our fieldwork in a remote
Sicilian Village called Troina. On arrival in Toronto, I studied several aspects of
the Italian Community here, including the origins of Italians. In 1974-1975 on my first
sabbatical, I spent a year visiting most of these village origins in Italy. I have also
lived in Vancouver for a year, and carried out two studies of Italians there in 1978-1979.
In 1988-1989 a colleague (who had worked on the original study) and I, returned to Troina
after 25 years and wrote a book about it.
