Dr. Cecillon is a Canadian historian whose specializations include French Canadian and immigration history. He is the co-author of two secondary school texts, Creating Canada (McGraw-Hill Ryerson), and Emerging Loyalties, (Thomson-Nelson Press). In 2013, he published a book based on his doctoral dissertation, entitled Prayers, Petitions and Protests: The Catholic Church and the Ontario Schools Crisis in the Windsor Border Region, 1910-1928, (McGill-Queen’s University Press). This book places the Franco-Ontarian reaction to Regulation VII, an education policy that aimed to eliminate all French instruction from the province’s bilingual schools, into a larger international context of a Catholic Church policy of cultural integration within the world’s emerging nation states. |
