The Board of the Canadian Business History Association and the Marcel A. Desautels Centre for Private Enterprise and the Law at the University of Winnipeg are delighted to announce that Jean-Philip Mathieu has been awarded the 2022 Inaugural Desautels Research Fellowship.
This award is given in support of his research project A Social History of Montreal Rolling Mills, 1868 to 1903. The Fellowship is in the amount of $1,000 and can be used to support any aspect of Jean-Philip's project.
Jean-Philip Mathieu is a PhD candidate at McGill University. His dissertation uses a case study of Montreal Rolling Mills, a major secondary iron and steel producer in the second half of the nineteenth century, to examine the relationship between the joint-stock corporation, the rise of Montreal's bourgeoisie, and the formation of the Canadian state. He is also passionate about the public history of Montreal, giving historical tours in non-pandemic years, and acting as a consultant for the Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada.
