A teaser! Our first episode will be released on July 8, 2022. In it, we had the pleasure of speaking with Jennifer Bonnell about her book Reclaiming the Don, which won the Canadian Historical Association’s 2015 Clio Prize for best book in Ontario history. 

Jennifer Bonnell is an Associate Professor in the Department of History at York University, where she teaches courses in Canadian, environmental and public history. She is the author of Reclaiming the Don: An Environmental History of Toronto’s Don River Valley (University of Toronto Press, 2014) and the editor, with Marcel Fortin, of Historical GIS Research in Canada (University of Calgary Press, 2014). Her current research includes an environmental history of beekeeping and environmental change in the Great Lakes Region; and a history of human relationships with wildlife in British Columbia.
