Since the 1960s, historical research on Canada has moved from a marginal activity of a small number of scholars in a few universities to a central feature of all history departments across the country. This blossoming of Canadian scholarship occurred during a period when history education was the object of intense debate at all levels of schooling. One result was that new Canadian research did not easily find its way into the history curriculum, to begin the revision of public memory. A new approach to Canadian history education now integrates the ambition of research intensiveness with the potential of active learning in both schools and universities. This approach, based on the use of primary sources, promises to move forward debate about educational policy and content, and, most importantly, to influence our individual and collective understandings of Canada's past.

The seventh and final lecturer in the series "Public Memory, Citizenship and History Education" is Chad Gaffield, Professor of History and founding Director of the Institute of Canadian Studies at the University of Ottawa. He has published extensively in the fields of Canadian educational, community and family history. He is currently past-President of the Canadian Historical Association. His lecture, "The Blossoming of Canadian Historical Research: Implications for Educational Policy and Content" begins at 5:30 p.m. this Thursday, June 20th in the Jack Cram Auditorium of the Faculty of Education, McGill University, 3700 McTavish St. Everyone is welcome.
