Situating Québec in global environmental history

Abstract

On the weekend of September 22-24, 2005, scholars from across Canada and the United States met at the McCord Museum in Montréal to consider the place of Québec in global environmental history. This research colloquium represented the convergence of two flourishing fields of study: the history of Québec and environmental history. It was the product of a collaboration between the Québec Studies Programme at McGill University, Quelques arpents de neige, a migratory research workshop in Environmental History, and the Canada Research Chair in the Environmental History of Québec at the University of Québec in Trois-Rivières (UQTR).
