Welcome to my course offerings at the Department of Central, Eastern and Northern European Studies located on the traditional, ancestral and unceded territory of the Musqueam people. I thankfully acknowledge their territory and honour them. Without their generosity and curiosity, I would not be able to teach at UBC. These lands have always been a place of learning for Musqueam youth, who were instructed in their culture, history, and tradition, and who in turn shared their knowledge with a new generation.
