How do you convert your thesis to a book? How do you make your scholarship accessible to a general academic readership? What are the main challenges to publishing as a graduate student in Canada? These are but some of the question that we will be addressing in conversation with Dr. David Sanschagrin about his forthcoming book Le nationalisme constitutionnel au Canada (Constitutional Nationalism in Canada; Presses de l’Université Laval, forthcoming 2022). Dr. Sanschagrin published two books as a grad student and this, his third book, is based on his PhD dissertation which was recently awarded the Prix Rosalie-Silberman-Abella de la Société royale du Canada. The conversation with Dr. Sanschagrin is in English and is moderated by Dr. Arjun Tremblay.

The book is currently in production and will be published in fall 2022. The book is based on his doctoral thesis, which was awarded the Prix Rosalie-Silberman-Abella de la Société royale du Canada.
