CHANGE OF SPEAKER FOR NOVEMBER ViC

Karly Kehoe, who was going to give a talk on the Highland Scots who emigrated to Nova Scotia has had to pull out of the ViC. She is scheduled to host another conference on November 28th and will also be taking a leading role in that other organization. 

I am absolutely thrilled that I have been able to fill the open space with Professor Marjory Harper. Marjory is one of the leading authorities on Scottish emigration. 

Marjory's talk will be on Voices from the Scottish Diaspora: Highland Emigration to Canada in the Twentieth Century

There will be a change to the schedule for the day to accommodate another speaking engagement that Professor Harper has that day. 

Marjory Harper is a Professor of History at the University of Aberdeen and a senior researcher at the Centre for History, University of the Highlands and Islands. Her main research interests are in Scottish emigration. She has published 12 monographs and edited collections, and over 100 articles. Two of her books have won international prizes, including the University of Guelph’s Frank Watson Prize. Her most recent book, based on oral testimony from around 100 interviewees, is about to be published as an audio book.

ACCESS TO RECORDING IS OPEN UNTIL JANUARY 15th
