Estonian Studies at the University of Toronto are concerned with

of shaping forces from both Slavic and Germanic directions. Complementing
course offerings in Baltic History, interdisciplinary Estonian and
Baltic literature, civilization, and folklore courses taught in
English represent further opportunities to contextualize Estonian
Studies on the regional and European map. The teaching of Estonian
language and culture is one of the stated goals of the Chair of
