The Centre of Canadian Studies will be home to five visiting academics for the next year.
The researchers have a range of interests including democracy, feminism and Canadian cinema in modern culture.
The visiting scholars programme highlights Edinburgh’s position as the leading university for studying Canada in the UK.
