Exciting to find An Accidental History of Canada in the MQUP catalogue! I contributed an article about how accidental fires were made sense of by early-20th-C Finnish migrant-settler socialists. This is a very cool collection & I can't wait to see it published.

Matkalla 1800-luvun tutkimuksen päiville. Esitän @koneensaatio.bsky.social hanketani ja puhun teemasta "Metsä kanadansuomalaisten asuttamismuistissa". Kiva harjoitella tutkimuksen esittelyä suomeksi, vaikka se aina kovasti jännittääkin.
