Join the McGill Institue for the Study of Canada and Canadian Scottish Studies for an afternoon of presentations by scholars from accross the country.

The Scottish influence in Canadian history has been of undeniable importance, facilitated by intensifying transatlantic ties between Scotland and northern North America and manifested in multiple spheres of Canadian society, from business and government to education and cultural life. As historians increasingly investigate Canadian history’s transnational dimensions, there remains much to discover about the Scottish connection and its diverse impacts.

This one-day colloquium, Rediscovering the Scots, inaugurates the St. Andrew’s Society/McEuen Scholarship Foundation Chair in Canadian-Scottish Studies, and begins a conversation that will work towards defining and realizing a broader research agenda for the study of the Scots and Scottishness in Quebec and Canadian history.

Presenters include the following four MQUP authors: Denis McKim, Elsbeth Heaman, Elizabeth Elbourne, and Heather McNabb. Click here for the full program.
