Department of History

A collection of essays in honour of Sherry Olson has been published, edited by by Robert Sweeny.

"Sherry Olson has almost always worked with others, inspiring them to ground their research in an empathetic understanding of the human condition. Through this team work, she has made signal contributions in fields as diverse as environmental, social, urban, and women’s histories, as well as public health, demography, and geographic information systems (GIS). In this volume, a critical assessment of her life’s work is complemented by original pieces advancing our knowledge in these remarkably diverse fields."

The book is published by the University of Ottawa Press/Presses de l'Université d'Ottawa and is available here.
