About the Speaker: 
Gillian Wagenaar is a SSHRC-funded PhD candidate at the University of Waterloo. Her research looks at Canadian correspondence at both the heart and margins of the Second World War, connecting homefront and battlefront, and examining the meaning of letters and how they get from one point to another. Through this work, she aims to make the exploration of history more accessible through digital methods, storytelling, and hands-on engagement with the past.
