Next Thursday (4 March) at 14.30, the History Department is delighted to welcome Dr. Claire Campbell (Bucknell University) for a Zoom presentation on “Surfacing: Finding Environmental History in Canada’s Atlantic Cities.”

A story of finding water coursing under and through our coastal cities, and saltwater lapping over and at their edges. As cities become a focal point amid concerns about climate change, it invites us to ask how cities like Halifax and Charlottetown took shape; how they serve as artifacts of the Anthropocene; and what cautions they offer as the water rises.
