A Writing and Publication Journey
Guest Speaker:
Patricia Roberts-Pichette, Ph.D
Patricia
Roberts-Pichette was born in New Zealand where she received her early
education before completing her graduate studies in the United States
on a Fulbright Scholarship. She then taught for 10 years at the
University of New Brunswick, following which she served 25 years in the
Canadian federal and international public services.
The book Great
Canadian Expectations: The Middlemore Experience is the result of
fifteen years of research by the author. Unlimited access to all extant
Middlemore files up to 1936, to contemporary reports, and the personal
communications and meetings with Middlemore family members and
descendants of Middlemore home children have given Dr. Roberts-Pichette
a unique perspective on the work of the Middlemore agency and its homes.
