Final Episode: A reflection on the ways in which the research and writing in Canadian history have changed in our lifetimes.
OHS President Kristin Ives introduces the 2023 Keynote Speaker, Dr. Donald B. Smith. A long-time OHS member, Dr. Smith is a Professor Emeritus of History at the University of Calgary who has focused his career on the history of Indigenous Canada, Quebec, and the history of Calgary and Southern Alberta.
The OHS is very pleased to share this recording of Dr. Smith reflecting on his career and the creation of his 2023 21-episode podcast series (with accompanying illustrated articles) for the OHS, In Hindsight: Half a Century of Research Discoveries in Canadian History.
Following the model of old-fashioned radio programming, In Hindsight ran weekly from January to June in 2023, with the final episode launching in October, and focused on different personalities in 19th and 20th century Canadian history. Learn more about and listen to the podcast at:
