The paper, once produced and peer reviewed, will be published on the CIHE website and widely promoted. The author will deliver the paper at a meeting of the CIHE open to the public.
Possible themes include, but are not limited to: similar or differing approaches to government, colonial matters, Loyalist migration and patterns of settlement, indigenous affairs, leadership and leaders (Lord Dorchester, John Parr, Sir John Wentworth, etc.).
Deadline to submit proposals: May 22, 2026
