Through this discussion, we are able to model how historians read primary sources to expand their analysis of the past.

Bio: Dr. Rebecca Beausaert is an Adjunct Professor in the Department of History at the University of Guelph and a Sessional Instructor in various faculties at Wilfrid Laurier University. She also works as an exhibit consultant and researcher for museums. She completed her PhD at York University where her doctoral dissertation examined women's leisure activities in three small Ontario towns between the years 1871 and 1914. Currently, her research interests continue to focus on rural and small-town Ontario in the later 19th and 20th centuries, specifically issues related to leisure, sport, gender, food, agriculture, and the First World War. She has recently begun a new research project that looks at women's work and the gendered environment of tobacco farms in Norfolk County during the postwar years.
