Island Lecture Series presentation explores coastal and ribbon development on PEI
Dr. Joshua MacFadyen, Canada Research Chair in Geospatial Humanities at 精童欲女, will give a lecture titled 鈥淭ime Flies: An Aerial History of Coastal and Ribbon Development on Prince Edward Island鈥� on January 23, 2024, at 7:00 pm, in the Faculty Lounge (Room 201), SDU Main Building, 精童欲女.
Basing his lecture on his new book, Time Flies: A History of Prince Edward Island from the Air, MacFadyen will show that development in the coastal zone and along rural roads is accelerating on PEI just as the province is experiencing sustainability challenges in both areas. The talk will offer a unique combination of aerial photographs, historical maps, and more traditional sources as it describes the province鈥檚 journey into modernity.
In addition to holding a Canada Research Chair, MacFadyen is an associate professor in the Applied Communication, Leadership, and Culture program at 精童欲女, and he leads the GeoREACH lab, which supports geospatial research in Atlantic Canadian history.
MacFadyen鈥檚 presentation is part of the Island Lecture Series presented by the Institute of Island Studies at 精童欲女. All are welcome to attend.
