We’re back today with everyone’s favourite series, Historian’s Histories! If you’d like to see more posts from this series, you can do so here. This latest entry features fellow awesome Jewish-Canadian woman and historian, Blair Stein. I have been (not-so) secretly in love with her research for years, so I’m super excited to bring you this interview today. Enjoy!
Blair Stein is a doctoral candidate in History of Science at the University of Oklahoma. She’s especially interested in technology, the environment, identity, and the uneven experiences of modernity. Her dissertation uses Trans Canada Air Lines’ (TCA, now Air Canada) public-facing material as a way to explore postwar concerns with nature, culture, nation, and technology in Canada. Her work has appeared in Technology and Culture, the Journal for the History of Astronomy, and an upcoming book onMade Modern: Science and Technology in Canadian History from UBC Press. She also blogs occasionally for the nice people at NiCHE, Technology’s Stories, and Activehistory.ca, is the graduate student representative of the Canadian Science and Technology Historical Association, and tweets about airplanes, pedagogy, dogs, and Star Trek.
