@oldTOseries York University historian Roberto Perin wrote a superb book on the evolution of places of worship in Toronto. (The Many Rooms of This House). It's not just religious history, but a history of ethnicity and migration in the city. Highly recommended.
Grateful to see my chapter on Vatican 'neutrality' appear in The Routledge History of the Second World War. Many thanks to general editor Paul Bartrop @RoutledgeHist, and to Professor Robert Ventresca @rventres for suggesting me for this volume.
@cchahistory I'll always remember Father Ed's generous support that allowed me to travel to the CCHA meeting in Saskatoon in 2006- a conference that indelibly shaped my academic career. A special man indeed. May he rest in peace.
@YolaVentresca@rventres@kingsatwestern A scholar and a gentleman, in the truest sense. King's is indeed fortunate to have you in the fold. Congratulations, Rob.
(I know I'm technically 'off twitter' for a writing break, but I couldn't help this one!)
Taking a short twitter hiatus to finish a long overdue manuscript project. Best wishes to all for a peaceful and productive spring and early summer. Be well! 🙏
@KUCSWPROF@kingsatwestern@rventres A timely reminder from @rventres that we are all, no doubt, working in a novel and stressful environment, with many juggling additional burdens and duties. (As for that extension we were discussing... :)
@brettdpotter @TheologyHuron @huronatwestern One of my favourite Canadian paintings- always reminded me of the late summer drive to London. Congratulations, Brett!
@Monica_Black_ @ElliotMiles8 I'm so grateful that @rventres was my doctoral supervisor. From day one, I was treated as a colleague and fellow scholar, and his advice, support and mentorship pulled me through some of the toughest days of the process. Thanks so kindly, Rob!
