And yet there is another group of Canadians who have fought in foreign wars. Known as transnational fighters, these Canadians have left Canada to fight abroad. The line between foreign fighters and mercenaries can be a thin one in some cases, but mercenaries are usually fighting primarily for pay. Transnational fighters almost always have other motivations. While some of the transnational fighters have been former members of Canada\u2019s armed services or veterans of its official wars, these soldiers, airmen, or other types of warriors have fought in these conflicts not in the Canadian uniform or guided by its military\u2019s regulations. They are not paid by the Canadian state, have no special veterans\u2019 benefits, and their military commitment has not been officially commemorated.&nbsp; Tens of thousands of Canadians have nonetheless served from immediately before Confederation in wars beyond Canada\u2019s borders. This public lecture will explore why individual Canadians have felt compelled to leave their communities to fight overseas. It will also touch on their experience in the conflict zone, the fighters\u2019 return to Canada, and their treatment within society.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-pane kt-accordion-pane kt-accordion-pane-14 kt-pane345616_bf44e9-1a\"><div class=\"kt-accordion-header-wrap\"><button class=\"kt-blocks-accordion-header kt-acccordion-button-label-show\" type=\"button\"><span class=\"kt-blocks-accordion-title-wrap\"><span class=\"kt-blocks-accordion-title\">2023 | Professor Adele Perry<\/span><\/span><span class=\"kt-blocks-accordion-icon-trigger\"><\/span><\/button><\/div><div class=\"kt-accordion-panel kt-accordion-panel-hidden\"><div class=\"kt-accordion-panel-inner\">\n<p><strong>A difficult history of the Hudson\u2019s Bay Company<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>September 28, 2023<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How should historians understand the fur-trade, and powerful corporate entities associated with it, as a chapter in a global history of colonialism and dispossession? &nbsp;This talk will aim to trouble the history of the Hudson\u2019s Bay Company by centering it in difficult histories of violence, conflict, and the theft of knowledge, land, and lives in North America, ones with implications for the lived present of colonialism in Western Canada.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-pane kt-accordion-pane kt-accordion-pane-22 kt-pane345616_adfa92-55\"><div class=\"kt-accordion-header-wrap\"><button class=\"kt-blocks-accordion-header kt-acccordion-button-label-show\" type=\"button\"><span class=\"kt-blocks-accordion-title-wrap\"><span class=\"kt-blocks-accordion-title\">2022 | Professor Barrington Walker<\/span><\/span><span class=\"kt-blocks-accordion-icon-trigger\"><\/span><\/button><\/div><div class=\"kt-accordion-panel kt-accordion-panel-hidden\"><div class=\"kt-accordion-panel-inner\">\n<p><strong>Writing Difficult Histories in Difficult Times<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>January 18, 2023<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This talk was about the challenges of writing difficult histories in difficult times.
