Acknowledgements

This collection of resources, reflections, and ideas results from extensive postsecondary teaching experience in five different institutions in Québec, Ontario, and Alberta since 1996. I must thank the thousands of students who, over the years, have reminded me daily how challenging learning to think like a historian can be. Thank you for taking up this challenge and for helping me become a better teacher by forcing me to think back on what has become second-nature to me.

I also must thank my own professors at the University of Ottawa, Université Laval, and McGill University, who have challenged me to become a better historian.

This website is for the use of my students. I hope it is useful to them, and I dedicate it to them.
