Oct 4

Written By Sean Carleton

I had the honour of launching my new book, Lessons in Legitimacy: Colonialism, Capitalism, and the Rise of State Schooling in British Columbia, at the Winnipeg Art Gallery as part of the programming for the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, sponsored by the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation. It was great to share the book with so many friends, colleagues, and community members. Thank you!
