A conversation between Emma J. Anderson (University of Ottawa and 2023-2024 Pathy Visiting Professor of Canadian Studies) and David D. Hall (Bartlett Professor of New England Church History Emeritus, Harvard Divinity School) on their current overlapping research projects. They will compare missionization strategies and assumptions of Protestant New Englanders with the Catholics of New France, including understandings of priesthood, the ministry, and the nature of conversion, male vs. male and female missionaries, practical barriers to missionary work, understandings of how to approach conversion, etc., as well as Indigenous responses to their overtures.
