In this episode of the History Slam, Sean Graham talks with Samantha Cutrara, author of the new book Transforming the Canadian History Classroom: Imagining a New ‘We’. They discuss who constitutes the ‘we’ in Canadian history, the power of the nation state in historical narratives, and ensuring all people are reflected when telling stories of the past. They also talk about the book’s methodology, engaging people in classrooms and public spaces, and the principles of connection, complexity, and care when discussing history.
