Sikh Studies Initiatives - University of Calgary

Sikh Studies at UCalgary. You make it happen.

The Sikh community has been essential in developing and continuing to drive multicultural values, politics, and the economy—both locally and nationally. Sikh Studies courses at UCalgary give students tools to apply and think through the Sikh worldview, embracing pluralism, equity, diversity and compassion for others.

Together, we can ensure that our youth, our neighbours, and our scholars engage with the Sikh tradition, culture, and thought.

Why build Sikh studies at UCalgary?

Sikh Studies is a young field, and we are coming together at a time when there is still opportunity to shape it. Working collaboratively with communities of scholars, Sikhs, students, and neighbours—in Calgary and beyond—we are motivated to develop programming that is relevant within a global framework through:

Teaching and Learning – Expanding course selection by adding senior-level courses focusing on Sikh thought in practice.
Research – Strengthening research and scholarly creation that involve the UCalgary and Sikh communities.
Community – Facilitating community engagement and dialogue for learning and creating a longer-term vision for Sikh Studies.

UCalgary is home to a substantial and highly engaged Sikh youth community who want to study and share their literature, philosophy, and religion.

We are stronger together. Giving Day 2021, we saw the power of what we can achieve when we work together.
With funding secured for the 4-year limited term position, we are building a solid foundation for Sikh Studies at UCalgary.

Please join us in supporting our vision for a long-term sustainable program in Sikh Studies – for our community and beyond.

Together, we'll make UCalgary the place to come and learn about Sikh Studies in Canada.
