Event Details:

Ian Jesse will present his paper “The Farmer and the Fox: Life, Death, and Profit(?) on New Brunswick Fox Farms” at the Rural Issues Workshop. After the workshop, we will reconvene at the Grad House for dinner at 5:30 p.m. 

Ian J. Jesse is a PhD candidate in history working under the supervision of Drs. Scott See and Mark McLaughlin. This year, he is a visiting Fulbright Doctoral Fellow in history at UNB. His dissertation, "Negotiated Wildlife: Animals, Work, and the Rural Residents of the Northeast" explores the connections between wildlife and rural communities in Maine and New Brunswick during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
