Happy to share that my WMQ article, “Conveyance to Kin,” is out now! The link makes it real, but the generous support of many friends and colleagues over the years made it possible. Thanks to all! muse.jhu.edu/pub/275/articl…
Happy to have finished my dissertation, ‘Measuring Ground: Surveyors and the Properties of States in the Great Lakes Region, 1783-1840.’ Jeff, and a host of wonderful people were behind me every step of the way. Thanks to all for the support these last six years.
Big day last week as @MikeBorsk defended his stellar thesis on the role of early surveyors in Upper Canada and Michigan in property, state, and information making. @queenshistory Administrative archives expertly mined to yield theoretical innovations.
Tremendously proud of @AMartinborough for the exemplary defence of his dissertation this afternoon @queenshistory "Constituting a Settler Empire: Written Constitutions and Reordering the British Empire, 1860-1930" Watch for the book!
“Treaties are sui generis agreements intended to advance reconciliation.” Remarkable statement from today’s Restoule decision.
In Ontario (Attorney General) v. Restoule, the Court held the Crown must negotiate or, failing agreement, determine the compensation it owes to First Nations for breaching its treaty promises. Read our plain-language summary here: scc-csc.ca/case-dossier/c…. #CdnLaw
Thanks to both the @CndHistAssoc and the @OsgoodeSociety for their recent recognition of my 2023 article, "Conveyance to Kin," in @OIEAHC's WMQ. It's an honour for me, and a help for anyone who wanted a short summary of a long article!
