  • Canadian Official Historians and the Writing of the World Wars Tim Cook
    Canadian Official Historians and the Writing of the World Wars Tim Cook BA Hons (Trent), War Studies (RMC) This thesis is submitted in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Humanities and Social Sciences UNSW@ADFA 2005 Acknowledgements Sir Winston Churchill described the act of writing a book as to surviving a long and debilitating illness. As with all illnesses, the afflicted are forced to rely heavily on many to see them through their suffering. Thanks must go to my joint supervisors, Dr. Jeffrey Grey and Dr. Steve Harris. Dr. Grey agreed to supervise the thesis having only met me briefly at a conference. With the unenviable task of working with a student more than 10,000 kilometres away, he was harassed by far too many lengthy emails emanating from Canada. He allowed me to carve out the thesis topic and research with little constraints, but eventually reined me in and helped tighten and cut down the thesis to an acceptable length. Closer to home, Dr. Harris has offered significant support over several years, leading back to my first book, to which he provided careful editorial and historical advice. He has supported a host of other historians over the last two decades, and is the finest public historian working in Canada. His expertise at balancing the trials of writing official history and managing ongoing crises at the Directorate of History and Heritage are a model for other historians in public institutions, and he took this dissertation on as one more burden. I am a far better historian for having known him.

  • Cross-Border Schooling and the Complexity of Local Identities in The
    Anthony Di Mascio 37 CROSS-BORDER SCHOOLING AND THE COMPLEXITY OF LOCAL IDENTITIES IN THE QUEBEC-VERMONT BORDERLAND REGION: A HISTORICAL ANALYSIS Anthony Di Mascio1, Assistant Professor, School of Education Bishop’s University Abstract This paper examines the history of cross-border education in the Eastern Townships of Quebec and Northern Vermont borderland region. Considering that the legal and administrative jurisdiction over schooling rests at the provincial and state levels, the sharing of schools along an international borderline raises challenging questions about the administrative and cultural history of education. This paper argues that by crossing educational boundaries, the people of the borderland region challenge us to rethink three strongly held assumptions in public schooling’s history: first, that school advocates in Canada were motivated to establish public schools in order to counter the threat of American republicanism; second, that Quebec education has been rigidly divided between French and English systems; and third, that the Canada-U.S. borderline represents a clear demarcation between social and political views and values. Résumé L’article examine l’histoire de l’éducation transfrontalière dans les Cantons-de-l’Est et la région frontalière du nord du Vermont. Considérant que la juridiction légale et administrative sur les établissements d’enseignement était déjà établie à l’échelle de la province et de l’État, la présence d’un enseignement international transfrontalier est une caractéristique étonnante de l’histoire
