If you are working on topics of interest, shoot me an email.

If you're inFredericton on November 3, join us for a spooky public lecture by @deindustrialpol.bsky.social co-investigator Dr. Lachlan MacKinnon, CRC in Post-Industrial Communities at Cape Breton University.

"Cinematic Ruin: My Bloody Valentine and Industrial Crisis in Cape Breton, 1979-1990."

Our thoughts and hearts are with the children, but also, here on unsurrendered Wəlastəkwey territory, we re-commit to a community-oriented, anti-colonial intellectual and political project that prioritizes understanding "Atlantic Canada" from the margins and recognizes Indigenous sovereignty.

Acadiensis is proud to announce a special forum on The Marshall Decision @ 25: Honouring the Future of Peace and Friendship Treaties.
