Compared Political Cultures of North American National Minorities (1960-1970)

The Centre canadien de recherche sur les francophonies en milieu minoritaire (the Canadian centre for research on Francophone minority communities/CRFM) of La Cité at the University of Regina is pleased to welcome Professor Joel Belliveau of Laurentian University in Sudbury, a winner of the CRFM’s 2015 grant competition. Joel Belliveau, author of Le « moment 68 » et la réinvention de l’Acadie (PUO, 2014), will give a lecture in which he discusses the way Francophones in Acadia, Ontario and Manitoba experienced the ferment of the 1960s and 70s, opening onto issues concerning Saskatchewan’s Francophone community. A roundtable, facilitated by historian Michael Poplyansky, Ph.D., who has just joined the team of La Cité, will follow the lecture. Members of the Fransaskois community will take part in the roundtable, in which the experience of Saskatchewan’s Francophones in the 1960s and 70s will be related and discussed. This event is organized in collaboration with the Société historique de la Saskatchewan. Event in French. Free and open to the public. More information: http://lacite.uregina.ca/en/research/events
