Because, let’s face it – who has time to catch up on all the journal articles published in Canadian history?
Welcome back to the Best New Articles series where, each month, I post a list of my favourite new articles! Don’t forget to also check out my favourites from previous months, which you can access by clicking here.
Warning: As some of you may already know, Erudit has been down for the last week. Since several of the journal articles I needed were only available through this service, I was not able to include them in this month’s Best New Articles. So this is a partial list, and I will include the missing issues next month.
This month I read articles from:
- Canadian Journal of Native Studies 28 no. 1 (2018)
- Journal of Canadian Studies 53, no. 1 (Winter 2019)
- Canadian Historical Review 100 no. 1 (March 2019)
- Papers of the Bibliographical Society of Canada 55, no. 2 (2017)
- Acadiensis 47, no. 2 (Summer/Autumn 2018)
- Quebec Studies 66 (2018)
- Individual articles
Here are my favourites:

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.
Welcome back to our monthly series, “Upcoming Publications in Canadian History,” where I’ve compiled information on all the upcoming releases for the following month in the field of Canadian history from every Canadian academic press, all in one place.
