Adult Education

The Institute has initiated a program of community education. The aim is to develop both scholarly resources that support theoretical and empirical work related to the building and renewal of civil society, and tools for education in public and oral history.

The current publications program is focussed on a set of reading lists, a book review program, and a series of working papers.
 
In terms of public history, we have begun work on a set of weekly historical notes.
 
 
 

Historical Notes

  • Anna Leonowens is known in Nova Scotia as one of the organizers of the Victoria School of Art (now NSCAD University) in 1887. She subsequently became involved in organizing the Women's Suffrage Association, where she became the first President. Although Anna was not to live to see it, the political coalition behind women's suffrage was eventually successful with the passing of the Nova Scotia Franchise Act of 26 April, 1918.
