The Department is delighted to announce the appointment of Deirdre McCorkindale as Assistant Professor in Black Canadian History, effective July 1. She will be teaching in both the History department and the new Black Canadian Studies Minor program.
From the Globe & Mail:
"Kimberly Martin, an assistant professor at the University of Guelph in Ontario, is one of the co-ordinators taking care of organizing the data that is being collected so that it’ll be easy to rebuild the sites that are lost. She would also find websites of importance and list them on a shared document where other volunteers could work on scraping their data.
