On today’s episode, Dr. Aidan Forth, an Associate Professor in the Department of Humanities at MacEwan University, explores the imperial origins of concentration and refugee camps, archival research methods, and his new SSHRC-funded project on 19th-century steamships and globalization.

Join hosts Kelsie Johntson and John Jonson as they explore the scholarly and creative activities happening at MacEwan University with a focus on how faculty influence and/or incorporate students, teaching and the larger community into their projects.

Each episode, Kelsie and John are joined by a MacEwan faculty member to dive into their scholarly projects and bring them to life. Covering topics from theatre, community-based research and advocacy to mental health, neuroscience, and everything in between.
