D.R. Meister, PhD
Archives, History, Politics
Welcome!

I am an archivist and scholar of modern Canadian history and politics, with a focus on immigration, “race,” “whiteness,” and multiculturalism.
My research to date has specifically examined the long and intertwined histories of racial discrimination and multiculturalism in Canada. Publications includeThe Racial Mosaic: A Pre-History of Canadian Multiculturalism (2021) and articles in the Canadian Historical Review, Settler Colonial Studies, Études canadiennes/Canadian Studies, Canadian Military History, and
History Compass.
I am presently an Archivist (Private Sector Records) at the Provincial Archives of New Brunswick; an Adjunct Research Professor in the Department of History at St. Thomas University; and an Adjunct Professor in the Department of Political Science at the University of New Brunswick (where I occasionally teach courses).
