Interesting thread, thanks for sharing Peggy.

I’ve been thinking a lot about my vote on Monday, and how the two leading campaigns have influenced my thinking. It’s a tight race. First, let me congratulate both candidates. I’ve run for office ; it’s not easy. They’ve both run strong campaigns and we are lucky to have them. 1/

New to Twitter, late to the party, but I was delighted to see my research on prosocial behaviour in @lindy2350's great book "How to Raise Kids Who Aren't Assholes". I got my copy at @OctopusBooks.

#Atiqput is a multigenerational discussion of culture, history, & naming centring on archival photographs of #Inuit whose names were previously unrecorded. Royalties go to Nunavut Sivuniksavut @nunavutottawa, the Inuit college in Ottawa which was the initiator of the project.

[Octopus Bookstore @OctopusBooks]

Congrats to Carol Payne, Beth Greenhorn, Deborah Kigjugalik Webster, & Christina Williamson, co-editors of the new book Atiqput: Inuit Oral History and Project Naming, on a wonderful launch event last night.

Les presses des universités McGill et Queen’s lancent mercredi le recueil « Atiqput: Inuit Oral History and Project Naming », qui collige des photographies d’archives d’Inuit des quatre coins du Nord canadien et découle d'un vaste projet d'identification. https://t.co/Ldl7Di7TMc
