The latest in blog posts, news, and podcasts from the world of Canadian history.
Note from Andrea: Due to some unforeseen problems, the blog post we were originally going to publish today has been delayed to next week. So we hope you enjoy this one instead!
Special thanks to Krista McCracken, Stephanie Pettigrew, and Catherine Ulmer for their help drafting this piece. And thanks to Heather Green, Samantha Cutrara, Stephanie Pettigrew, Sam McLean, Kesia Kvill, Maryanne Reed, Elizabeth Della Zazzera, Pam Calvert, Aisha Wynter, Stephanie Bangarth, Danielle Metcalfe-Chenail, Mary Chaktsiris, Gillian Leitch, Maxime Dagenais, and Dan Horner for answering my random questions!
One of the most common questions that people ask me, (besides how on earth I managed to do the roundup), is: how do you manage to write a new blog post every week? Usually I give my standard response: when you teach four courses a semester, you get really good at writing lectures fast. And a blog post is pretty much just a shorter lecture. But more recently, I’ve started to rethink my approach to writing history.
Because, let’s face it – who has time to catch up on all the journal articles published in Canadian history?
