Great set of readings for putting the idea of the Anthropocene into some sorely needed critical/historical/political context, from Gabrielle Mclaren and @NiCHE_Canada niche-canada.org/2023/07/25/… @nusutalks
A reminder, as you prep courses for the falls, that my book is a "re-imagining of Canadian history told by exploring how people have obtained food and shelter." Just saying. @alanmaceachern @OUPHistory @NiCHE_Canada @NUSUtalks @kevin_wamsley oupcanada.com/catalog/search…
You can help support Indigenous education @nipissingu today. One scholarship is specifically for students from Nipissing First Nation, on whose territory we are privileged to be. @NUSUtalks @kevin_wamsley
Did you know 7% of our students identify as Indigenous? On #GivingTuesdayCA we are raising funds for Indigenous student scholarships & bursaries. Hear from Romeo Fournier, Director of Indigenous Initiatives, about the importance of these awards: youtube.com/watch?v=7iwh9M1_… #NUGives

The contrast between the stilted, "I can hardly look up from my paper" Dr. Moore of the prepared statement, and the actual clear detailed information he delivered in the Q & A, suggests how much he's being managed. Hopefully they let him out again soon.
So #envhist needs more Indigenous history; be sure to take in @nipissingu's Robert Olajos at #ASEH2022 @NiCHE_Canada @NiCHE_NS
Scrolling jealously through the #ASEH2022 field trip photos and just going to re-tweet this amazing offer! Have a great final day all.

Hey Port Alberni folks, did you know that the first true anti-logging activists in BC formed to protect Cathedral Grove? @alberniweather @albernichamp @hushrules niche-canada.org/2022/01/14/…
Today on @NiCHE_Canada David Brownstein concludes his exploration of the surprisingly long history of protests against old growth logging in BC #envhist #foresthistory niche-canada.org/2022/01/14/…
Thanks to the folks @OUPCanada for such a great cover

Once again I am having my food history students write about @JanisThiessen's Snacks: A Canadian Food History, which means I get to spend more time with this delightful and informative book. #foodhist #envhist

Any recommendations for books on history of invasive species for graduate environmental studies & history students, to challenge them to think historically about what counts as invasive species & how this gets decided? Canadian ideally. #twitterhistorians #envhist @niche-canada
Every news story about the US-Canada border must, by law, feature a picture of Windsor/Ambassador Bridge #Windsor @murtonstoehr thestar.com/business/2021/11…
Past time that I sent out some solidarity greetings to @UMFA_FAUM, now in day 23 of #umfastrike. I know how it feels. Stay strong all. @AdelePerry @SeanCarleton
