Sikh Studies is the study of the Sikh tradition, culture and thought and the application of that understanding in a global context.
Sikhism is the 5th largest world religion. There are between 600,000 and 1 million Sikhs currently in Canada, the largest Sikh community outside India.
Born within a multicultural context, the Sikh tradition can teach us much about pluralism, equity, embracing difference, care and compassion for others through Oneness.
Sikh Studies is a young field, and by joining with the community at this time there is an excellent opportunity to help shape it.
By building this position through collaboration and partnership with Calgary’s Sikh community, the University of Calgary seeks to create a uniquely positive, productive, and innovative approach to fostering contributions to address the most pressing locally and globally relevant issues through avenues within the Sikh tradition.
