📷WE ARE HIRING 2024 SUMMER STAFF

Our students are out with Thomas Peace this week learning about 17th & 18th century Mi’kmaw, Acadian, & Nova Scotian history.

Day two of the Digital Disruption Field School. A grand merci Musée acadien & IEA for welcoming us. We also stopped at the memorial for Shubenacadie IRS to remember the children & legacy of residential schooling & the importance of the Shubenacadie River for the Mi’kmaq.

Huge thanks to Nova Scotia Museum & Parks Canada, Nova Scotia for hosting day 5 of our field school. If you have not had a chance to see the new Kjipuktuk exhibition at the Citadel, you should make the time. Huge congratulations to everyone involved in putting it together. #Halifax #cdnhist

Hands down, best part of my job. #cdnhist

Excited to be meeting with Thames Valley DSB History teachers today to talk about how we can strengthen the teaching of history & encourage high school students to consider history as part of their undergraduate studies. #cdnhist #cdnpse #onhist

I was honoured last night to receive the CHA's 2024 Clio Award for the best book in the history of Atlantic Canada. My name is on the book, but the ideas in it developed from being part of some wonderful scholarly communities CHA/SHC (cndhistassoc.bsky.social) @huronatwestern (among others). #cdnhist

Huge congratulations to Professor Thomas Peace!

Hearing Denise Pelley sing Bob Marley at the AME church Fanshawe Pioneer Village is exactly the type of programming I hoped we might see when we moved this building to the museum. The museum’s developing Songs & Stories program is very promising. A wonderful afternoon in #ldnont.

The value of a history degree is well documented and it is a clear pathway to understanding the human condition (ie bullshit detection). It is nice to see someone saying this aloud. #cdnhist #cdnpoli

“Black activists championed birthright citizenship. Now, Trump is trying to end it.” Thank you to Katie Hawkinson at The Independent for putting together such a big picture perspective. History teaches that this struggle is an old one and worth fighting. independent.co.uk/news/world/ame…
