All are welcome to join us, in person or via Zoom for these exciting talks by three historians working in the history and legacies of eugenics in Canada. If you miss a talk or want to rewatch it, you can find the recorded talk on our YouTube channel: Canada Region Anti-eugenic Scholarship Hub @CanadaRegionAnti-eugenics  Please see below for both Zoom links for upcoming events and links to recorded talks on YouTube. 

These talks are hosted in person at Saint Mary's University in Halifax, Nova Scotia, and located on the traditional land of the Mi’kmaq Nation. This territory is covered by the "Treaties of Peace and Friendship" which Mi’kmaq and Wolastoqiyik peoples first signed with the British Crown in 1725.

 The treaties did not deal with the surrender of lands and resources but in fact, recognized Mi’kmaq and Wolastoqiyik title and established the rules for what was to be an ongoing relationship.

Recording of a live talk given April 23rd, 2024 by Dr. C. Elizabeth Koester. Dr. Koester discussed the ways that eugenic ideas and influences have historically become mainstream and how their legacies continue to affect society today.
