News from the Department

Some recent faculty-student collaborations in the department!

3D Printing the Past is a collaborative initiative between Dr Kyle Jackson in the History Department, History student research assistant Lukas Akai, and Wilson School of Design student research assistant Birk Zukowski. The video below explains the project and its importance to the ways in which we understand interactions among peoples in the past.

KPU Remembers is a collaborative project co-created by the students in Dr Chris Hyland's History 4496: Canada and World War I. Click on the link below the image to explore the multimedia biographies of Canadian soldiers in the First World War
