Lovers in a Dangerous Time

Show Notes

This fortnight, we’re kicking off season two in conversation with Emily Draicchio, who recently defended her MA thesis, “Excavating Archives: Mapping Enslaved People and Locating their Living Quarters in New Brunswick’s Loyalist Landscape” at UNB. We discuss Black Loyalists and the forgotten history of slavery in Atlantic Canada. And we have a new Ecofor prize winner for NB Archaeology Bingo!
