Reddin Symposium 2013 :: Celebrating 26 Years

The Reddin Symposium is designed to improve community understanding about Canada. The Reddin family of Bowling Green originally suggested the idea of an annual Canadian symposium and has funded the event every year. Now celebrating twenty-six years, the symposium has covered a diverse range of topics that enhance our understanding of Canada.

Making Boundaries and Nations:
Borderland Legacies of the
War of 1812

April 6, 2013
3:00pm, 308 BTSU

"Making Boundaries and Nations:
Borderland Legacies of the War of 1812."

Featuring Distinguished Professor of History Alan Taylor, University of California, Davis

Dr. Taylor is the author of the 1996 Pulitzer Prize-winning book, William Cooper's Town: Power and Persuasion on the Frontier of the Early American Republic. His most recent book, The Civil War of 1812: American Citizens, British Subjects, Irish Rebels, & Indian Allies (published by Alfred A. Knopf in October 2010), weaves fascinating stories around the contested border from Detroit to Montreal. He will continue this theme in his talk: “Making Boundaries and Nations: Borderland Legacies of the War of 1812.”
A reception and book signing will immediately follow the lecture in Bowen Thompson Student Union 207.

The Reddin Symposium is made possible by sponsorship from the Reddin Family of Bowling Green, Ohio, Bowling Green State University, and the Canadian Consulate General in Detroit.
