It is with great sadness that ACSUS notes the passing of one of its great champions.  Retired Duke University historian John Herd Thompson lost his battle with lung cancer on July 13th at the age of 72. 

In addition to being a leading scholar in Canadian history, Professor Thompson was a tremendous supporter of ACSUS.  We will all miss him and his contributions greatly.

His obituaries from the Toronto Globe and Mail and from Duke Today can be found in the attachment below.

ACSUS is pleased to announce that the June 2019 (Vol 49, No. 2) issue of the American Review of Canadian Studies is now available to members on-line.  This is a special issue focusing on Indigenous Peoples.
