Join author Dr. Catherine Larochelle, winner of the prestigious Clio-Quebec, Lionel-Groulx, and Canadian History of Education Association awards, for the launch of her book School of Racism: A Canadian History, 1830-1915. She will be joined by Dr. Sean Carleton, author of Lessons in Legitimacy: Colonialism, Capitalism, and the Rise of State Schooling in British Columbia, and Dr. Phi-Vân Nguyen, formerly of Parents Against Racism, to discuss the English translation of her book and how community members and educators are fighting racism in the classroom.
School of Racism
A Canadian History, 1830–1915
This award-winning book names the ways in which Canada’s education system has supported ideologies of white supremacy—ideologies so deeply embedded that they still linger in school texts and programming today. School of Racism bridges English- and French-Canadian histories to deliver a better understanding of Canada’s identity.
