"Yes, we can"

Dr. David Milne in conversation with Dr. Laurie Brinklow

This week, we have for you the first segment of another two-part conversation, with none other than UPEI Professor Emeritus (Political Science), Dr. David Milne, whose work Dr. Sigfus Jonsson mentioned many-a-time in our last podcast.

In talking about the 1982 book “The Garden Transformed,” David encourages us to think about whether our attachments make us present Prince Edward Island in a way that is actually helpful to the Island or not. And, as he walks us through some of the outcomes of 1992’s An Island Living conference, David reminds us of how Island Studies has always been about questioning the traditional thinking about Islands.

Stay tuned for more from this conversation next weekend!
