SUMMARY:Sean Mills\, "Transnationalism\, Race\, and Quebec" (CanAm Lecture Series)
DESCRIPTION:“In this paper I will explore new ways of thinking about Quebec and its connections to other societies and cultures\, with a particular emphasis on debates about race and the transnational circulation of people and ideas.  I will begin by looking at the relationship between language and race in Quebec the 1930s and 1940s\, with the arrival of increased numbers of Haitian intellectuals and Black American jazz musicians to the province.  I will then proceed to explore how debates about language and race played out in the artistic\, cultural\, and intellectual milieus of the 1960s\, 1970s\, and 1980s\, and will conclude with some reflections on the study of Quebec and Canadian history today.” – Professor Sean Mills \nSean Mills teaches in the Department of History at the University of Toronto.  He is the author of The Empire Within: Postcolonial Thought and Political Activism in Sixties Montreal\, as well as A Place in the Sun: Haiti\, Haitians\, and the Remaking of Quebec. \nThis event is free of charge and open to the public. Box lunches will be provided. \nRSVP on Facebook! Contact Professor Frederic Rondeau\, call 207-581-4220\, or visit the CanAm website for further information.

SUMMARY:CanAm Lecture: Dr. Margaret Pearce\, "Imagination\, identity\, and the cartography of history: 3 maps of Canada”
DESCRIPTION:From Dr. Pearce: \n\n\nIn this talk\, I introduce cartography as a form of language and demonstrate how I’ve worked with that language to explore and express Canadian history. I present three maps: the route of a North West Company clerk in 1797\, the travels of Samuel de Champlain between 1603 and 1616\, and a map of Indigenous place names. Working with a focus on the relationship between cartographer and reader\, each map engages with the themes of imagination and identity in the search for a design solution. Each map arrives at a different answer to the question\, what is history? \n\n\n\nThis event is co-sponsored by the Canadian-American Center and the Department of History at the University of Maine. The lecture will be followed by light refreshments and an opportunity to discuss the topics raised. \nClick here to download the official event flyer.

SUMMARY:From Common Lands to Second Nature: The Scholarship of Richard W. Judd and the Future of Eastern Environmental History
DESCRIPTION:Dear Friends and Colleagues\, \nRenowned environmental historian\, Richard Judd\, will be retiring from teaching at the University of Maine at the end of this semester. As many of you may already know\, Professor Judd is one of the history department’s most prolific scholars and has helped build numerous connections between the sciences and the humanities at UMaine in addition to being a significant force within the interdisciplinary field of environmental history itself for the past three decades. He has authored dozens of books and articles related to conservation; environmental thought; and the traditional farming\, hunting\, fishing\, and logging cultures of Maine and northern New England. He also served as an editor for a number of projects—most notably among them\, the Historical Atlas of Maine—as well as the Journal of Forest History and Maine History. \nTo celebrate and discuss the significance of Professor Judd’s career\, some of his current and former students have organized a panel featuring five forward-thinking scholars within eastern environmental history. Brian Payne\, a former student of Judd’s and a professor of history at Bridgewater State will lead the discussion\, discussing how Judd influenced him as a mentor and introduced him to the field of environmental history. Kate Viens\, director of research at the Massachusetts Historical Society\, will expand upon Payne’s comments about Judd’s influence as an educator\, discussing the implications of his work to the field of public history in addition to her own graduate research. Matthew McKenzie\, professor of history at University of Connecticut and New England Fisheries Management Council appointee\, will discuss the way in which Judd’s environmental history work intersects with both the sciences and social history and brings new insights to the environmental recovery within many areas of New England over the last several decades. John Cumbler\, professor emeritus of history at the University of Louisville and current history faculty at Suffolk University will explore\, in greater depth\, Judd’s contributions to a social-environmental history hybrid field and his work as indicative of environmental history’s emergence from labor and social history. AndBrian Donahue\, chair of the environmental studies program at Brandeis University and director of the Working Landscapes program at Harvard Forest\, will discuss the ways in which Judd broke new ground within the field of environmental history by highlighting through his research the conservation efforts of ordinary rural people. \nA Q&A session will follow in which Professor Judd will participate. \nDon’t miss this important opportunity to discuss the role of one of UMaine’s most esteemed faculty members in shaping the field of environmental history and wish him well as he heads into retirement. \nIf you would like more information\, please contact Emma Schroeder at emma.schroeder@maine.edu or Eileen Hagerman at eileen.palmer@maine.edu.

SUMMARY:CanAm Lecture Series - A Borderless Continent: Rethinking the Canadian-American Borderlands from an Ecological Perspective\, with Guest Lecturer Matthew Hatvany (Université Laval\, Québec)
DESCRIPTION:In 1918 the Migratory Bird Conservation Act (MBCA) was enacted\, creating the first nature preservation accord encompassing an entire continent. This talk\, however\, argues that the MBCA was essentially proscriptive in its view of nature preservation\, doing little to conserve and restore nature. \nThis “conservation problem” was recognized during the 1920s by waterfowl enthusiasts such as Aldo Leopold\, leading to a paradigm shift in the 1930s that influenced the geographical imagination of waterfowl conservationists\, leading them to de-emphasize national borders and cultural differences in favor of an ecological waterfowl common traversing the continent. The result was a post-national space of nature and culture that endures to this day. Woven into its historic etymology is a paradigm shift in thinking about the interdependence of human and natural systems. Viewed as a social construction of nature\, the building of a continental waterfowl ecological common was a geographical project focused on avoiding the inevitable tendency of individuals to over-exploit a common resource for individual benefit. \nA former Canada-US Fulbright Scholar and PhD graduate of the University of Maine\, Matthew Hatvany is professor of geography at Université Laval in Quebec City. His work over more than two decades has focused on the evolution of nature-culture relations in Canada\, America\, Europe and the South Pacific. \n

SUMMARY:CanAm Lecture: Geoff Cunfer\, "Energy Markets and the Collapse of the Northern Plains Bison"
DESCRIPTION:LUNCH PROVIDED. \nBison decline in the Southern Plains is a famous story in American environmental history. Herds were also decimated on the Canadian prairies\, but the causes were quite different. \nThis presentation will contrast the free-for-all petty capitalist markets for bison products in the United States with the monopoly corporate market run by Canada’s Hudson’s Bay Company\, the significance of railroads\, and the unique role of Metis bison hunts on the northern side of the border. \nClick to connect with other attendees on the Facebook event page.

SUMMARY:POSTPONED Daniel Soucier\, "Navigating Wilderness and Borderland"
DESCRIPTION:This event has been postponed. We anticipate that it will be rescheduled during the Fall 2020 semester. \n\nPlease join us for our final Spring 2020 graduate research presentation. History PhD candidate Daniel Soucier will present\, “Navigating Wilderness and Borderland” on Wednesday\, April 8 in the Bumps Room of the Memorial Union. \nThis event is free and open to the public. Boxed lunches will be provided. Please spread the word to your students and colleagues! \nAbout the presentation: “My research examines the evolving interactions of nature and humans during the major military campaigns in the northern theatre of the American War for Independence (1775 – 1783) as local people\, local environments\, and military personnel from outside the region interacted with one another in complex ways. Examining the American Revolution at the convergence of environmental\, military\, and borderlands history\, it elucidates the agency of nature and culture in shaping how three military campaigns in the “wilderness” unfolded. The invasion of Canada in 1775\, the expedition from Quebec to Albany in 1777\, and the invasion of Iroquoia in 1779 are the interconnected comparative case studies that inform this project. As human and non-human actors alike utilized the chaos of war to further distinct goals and purposes\, the levels of assistance or resistance that each provided to the large British and Continental forces that arrived from outside of the bioregion directly influenced the geopolitical and martial outcomes of campaigns.”

SUMMARY:CANCELLED 2020 Atlantic Canada Studies Conference
DESCRIPTION:Dear Atlantic Canada Studies Conference participants\, \nAfter discussion with the Acadiensis board\, I regret to announce that this year’s Atlantic Canada Studies Conference is cancelled. I’m sure that this is no surprise to anyone given the current situation.\n\nFor those of you who have registered\, Stephanie Crosby at the Canadian-American Center will be processing full refunds. Please remember to cancel any accommodation booked in Belfast.\n\nWhile cancelling a conference is obviously disappointing\, the good news is that the University of Maine will be hosting the conference in May 2021. We will contact you in the fall regarding your participation in the 2021 conference.\n\nI’d like to thank you for your interest in participating in the ACS conference. I’d also like to thank Dr. Mark McLaughlin (History\, UMaine) and Betsy Arntzen and Stephanie Crosby (Canadian-American Center\, UMaine) for all their hard work in planning the conference. We are ready for next year!\n\nStay well\, and my best wishes\,\n\nProfessor Stephen Hornsby\n\nThe Canadian-American Center and the Department of History at the University of Maine invite proposals for the 2020 Atlantic Canada Studies Conference to be held at the University of Maine’s Hutchinson Center in Belfast\, Maine\, USA on May 14-16\, 2020. \nThe theme of the conference is “Crossing Borders\, Bridging Boundaries.” With most participants crossing the international border between Canada and the United States to attend the conference\, we especially seek proposals that in some way attempt to bridge boundaries\, be they physical\, disciplinary\, metaphorical\, or otherwise. Among the many options available\, proposals may engage with a borderlands framework\, or could incorporate an interdisciplinary approach. As in previous ACS conferences\, we will consider proposals that deal with any topic or theme focused on the study of the Atlantic Region. \nFor more information\, please contact: \nMark J. McLaughlin\nAssistant Professor of History and Canadian Studies\nUniversity of Maine
