During a recent spirited online discussion among diplomatic historians prompted by the journal’s proposed name change, Brett Lintott, a first-year Ph.D. student in international relations at the University of Toronto, wrote of feeling a bit like the last woolly mammoth at the end of the Ice Age.Someone told me a while ago there are no longer any self-identified "Canadianists" in the University of Toronto history department, though it's the field most of their students want to study.
(I don't really follow the New York Times -- but would the Globe & Mail ever do a story like this one I've linked to above?)
