The History Program at Algoma University is pleased to announce our Honours Thesis

Night presentation for the 2018 academic year. The papers are based on primary research

located within contemporary historical debates and address a stimulating set of topics,

selected by students and supervised by program faculty.  Two themes have emerged from this

year’s projects:  gaps and discrepancies in historical interpretations of the early practices of

barber surgeons in England and the enlistment and experiences of Anishinaabe soldiers from

northern Ontario during World War I.  The following papers will be presented:

Nicole Curry, “Fake News: The Problem of Secondary Sources in the History of the Barber Surgeons Company in England”

Cole Nolan, “Zhimaaganishag — Soldiers: Anishinaabe Warriors in the Canadian Corps 1914 – 1918”

Wednesday, 28 March, Shingwauk Auditorium, 7:00 p.m

All are welcome and refreshments will be served.
