Jennifer Connor and Katherine Side, Editors (2019) The Grenfell Medical Mission and American Support in Newfoundland and Labrador, 1890s-1940s. Montréal-Kingston: McGill-Queen's University Press. ISBN: 978-0-7735-5487-0

"This is a rich collection, and the editors and contributing authors not only reveal the depth of American support for the Grenfell Mission through their varied approaches but open spaces for new research and further consideration."

-- Dr. Peter L. Twohig, Saint Mary's University

"The Grenfell Mission has immense historical significance and the varied approaches of the contributing authors combine in this volume to provide a thorough and highly original treatment."

--  Dr. John G. Reid, Saint Mary's University

"Most Newfoundlanders and Labradorians knew about the IGA...almost all of them would have unhesitatingly described the Mission, as it was known...as being British...Jennifer Connor and Katherine Side, as editors, have now demolished this myth."

-- Edward Roberts, (former Lieutenant Governor), Newfoundland and Labrador

Katherine Side (2015) Patching Peace: Women's Civil Society Organizing In Northern Ireland. St. John's: ISER. ISBN-13: 978-1-894725-23-1

 

 

"Patching Peace breaks critical new ground in understanding the intersections between gender, civil society, and peace processes in Northern Ireland. Side skillfully locates her case study within a richly textured historical, political and economic landscape to illustrate how a complex array of factors has worked to both facilitate and constrict women's civil society organising."

--Dr. Marie Hammond Callaghan, Mount Allison University

"Katherine Side's meticulous study of the peace-building efforts of the Moyle Women's Forum provides insights that have universal application. This book is essential reading for students, researchers, and practitioners of conflict resolution."

--Dr. Yvonne Galligan, Queen's University Belfast

"Anyone planning to study or write about conflict transformation, gender and politics, social movements, or the history of politics in Northern Ireland should read this book." 

--Dr. Carmel Roulston, University of Ulster

"Katherine Side's insightful study of the peacebuilding efforts of the Moyle Women's Forum provides critical new findings to understanding the gender work of civil society in processes of conflict transformation. In a bottom up dynamic, it contributes significant lessons about the gendered work of civil societies and furthers understanding of peace processes."

-- Dr. Melanie Hoewer, University College Dublin
