In this podcast, Canada's History speaks with Temma Frecker, a finalist for the 2018 Governor General's History Award for Excellence in Teaching.

Temma’s students embarked on a 6-week interdisciplinary project that focused on understanding multiple perspectives. They delved into the timely debate around commemorating controversial historical figures by putting together their own proposal regarding the statue of Sir Edward Cornwallis, which was removed from a Halifax park earlier this year. Temma’s students created their own unique solution called, “The Conversation,” which they detailed in an official proposal to the Cornwallis Committee and shared through public outreach and social and traditional media.
