Researchers at Michigan Tech have joined a grant-funded Canadian project called "Three Centuries of Francophone Migration in North America 1640–1940." Come hear about how their examinations of the experiences of French-Canadians in the Keweenaw are contributing to broader understandings of francophone history—including topics like occupation, social mobility, and historical memory. Dr. Lafreniere, Dr. Scarlett, and their students will share plans for conducting oral histories and developing local programming.
