Sherry Olson has almost always worked with others, inspiring them
to ground their research in an empathetic understanding of the
human condition. Through this team work, she has made signal
contributions in fields as diverse as environmental, social, urban,
and women's histories, as well as public health, demography, and
geographic information systems (GIS). In this volume, a critical
assessment of her life's work is complemented by original pieces
advancing our knowledge in these remarkably diverse fields. From
the environmental impact of colonial settlement in New Zealand to
racial segregation in Chicago, from the demography of the Mauricie
and marriage patterns of Quebec City to the inns, gay spaces, and
landladies of Montreal, this collection demonstrates the complexity
of sharing space in the past and its centrality to any critical
understandings of the global challenges we face in the present.
This book is published in English. - Sherry Olson a presque
toujours travaille en equipe, incitant ses collegues a ancrer leurs
recherches dans une comprehension empathique de la condition
humaine. Cela lui a permis d'offrir des contributions majeures dans
un large eventail de domaines, notamment l'histoire de
l'environnement, des relations sociales, de la vie urbaine et des
femmes, la sante publique, la demographie et les systemes
d'information geographique. Dans cet ouvrage, des etudes originales
viennent s'ajouter a l'evaluation critique qui est faite de
l'oeuvre de sa vie, permettant ainsi d'approfondir nos
connaissances dans ces domaines. En abordant des sujets allant de
l'impact environnemental de la colonisation en Nouvelle-Zelande a
la segregation raciale a Chicago, en passant par la demographie de
la region de la Mauricie, les modeles matrimoniaux de Quebec et les
auberges, les quartiers gais et les logeuses de Montreal, ce
recueil demontre toute la complexite du partage de l'espace dans le
passe et son importance cruciale pour une comprehension critique
des defis globaux de notre epoque. Ce livre est publie en anglais.
