Professor Faires is a member of the History Department at Western Michigan University. This paper is part of her ongoing research on migration across the Canada/ United States border, focusing on the intersections of gender, class, and ethnicity in this borderland.

This talk is co-sponsored by the Canadian Studies Committee.
