Dr. Rhonda Hinther, a professor in the Department of History at Brandon University, has been awarded a prestigious teaching award from the Canadian Historical Association (CHA). The national honour recognizes her innovative and impactful approach to engaging students with primary sources in historical studies.

A new group exhibition, coming to the Art Gallery of Southwestern Manitoba (AGSM), was co-curated by Stacey Koosel of the IshKaabatens Waasa Gaa Inaabateg Department of Visual Art at Brandon University and features the work of BU alumna Jessie Januska and other Indigenous artists.

The Government of Canada today recognized Chanie Wenjack as a person of national historic significance, sparked by a student’s public history project at Brandon University.

Wenjack was an Anishinaabe boy from Marten Falls First Nation in northern Ontario who lived for three years at the Cecilia Jeffrey Indian Residential School near Kenora.

The Gender & Women’s Studies (GWS) program at Brandon University invites proposals for projects that foster links between community-based organizations and our academic program. This community grant aims to help non-profit organizations prepare projects such as workshops, research projects, short-term programming, or other special projects.
