THE CANADIAN SHIELDS by Carol Shields, edited by Nora Foster Stovel, "succeeds in demonstrating what its title announces, that, like the Precambrian shield on which the whole country rests, Carol Shields is truly a cornerstone of Canadian literature."

In a review for , Kure Croker names THE ART OF ECTOPLASM edited by Serena Keshavjee as an example of how archives can "become spirited, potentially transformative, and necessarily reparative."

Rebecca Beausaert, author of PURSUING PLAY, is this year's recipient of the Ontario Historical Society's Alison Prentice Award for Canadian Women's history!

The Awards Committee writes: "Beausaert explores the leisure activities of women in rural Canada within a period of tremendous social, cultural, economic, political and religious change through the three small-town case studies of Elora, Dresden, and Tillsonburg. She convincingly argues that women in these areas increasingly exhibited agency and autonomy in their choices of leisure activities, which enlarged their social networks, strengthened long-standing ties of kinship and friendship, and created more opportunities for community involvement. In so doing, Beausaert challenges the prevailing narrative by revealing how trends in leisure and social change in small-town Canada actually mirrored those at the national level within a few decades of Confederation."

Congratulations Rebecca!
