How can academics push back against dis- and misinformation? One way is to use academic freedom responsibly: present evidence clearly, and resist the urge to offer personal opinions that muddy the facts. Now more than ever we need to build public trust in research. council.science/blog/scienti...

Congratulations to the newly elected Fellows of The Royal Society of Canada, including Dr. @karlykehoe.bsky.social of @historysmu.bsky.social! 🙌 Read @src-rsc.bsky.social's announcement: bit.ly/3JZLfga #SMUHistory #AtlanticCanada #rscBRAVOsrc #artswithimpact

An image of Dr. Karly Kehoe from the Royal Society of Canada's announcement on September 4. Dr. Kehoe is a professor with our Department of History at Saint Mary's University, and our Canada Research Chair in Atlantic Canada Communities. Beside her photo is the following text: "S. Karly Kehoe's groundbreaking research focuses on the displacement and migration of religious minorities from the Scottish Highlands and Ireland, and their settlement in Atlantic Canada. By examining these communities’ roles in the process of colonization, she illuminates the broader consequences of socio-economic and religious exclusion. Her influential scholarship and exceptional public outreach informs global migration and integration strategies, including world-leading initiatives to support displaced academic researchers.” Royal Society of Canada | Class of 2025 Academy of Arts and Humanities
