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 @CndHistAssoc @huronatwestern (among others). #cdnhist
Our students are out with @tpcanoe this week learning about 17th & 18th century Mi’kmaw, Acadian, & Nova Scotian history.
