New article on Israel Wood Powell’s connections to colonial schooling in British Columbia

I’ve published a new article looking at Israel Wood Powell’s connections to colonial schooling in British Columbia in the 1870s and 1880s, titled “Ruling by Schooling: Israel Wood Powell and Settler Colonialism in British Columbia.” It is the featured read on The Name Matters, and you can read it for free here.

Israel Wood Powell served as the first superintendent of Indian Affairs for British Columbia between 1872 and 1889.
