Perhaps most significantly, Barbara&#8217;s Master&#8217;s thesis (MA Island Studies) was successfully defended in August, 2025. The committee consisted of Drs. Joshua MacFadyen (supervisor) and Nino Andatze (member), and the external reader was Dr. <a href=\"https:\/\/scholar.google.com\/citations?user=VLnNANYAAAAJ&amp;hl=en\">Joana Gaspar de Freitas<\/a> (Center for History, School of Arts and Humanities of the University of Lisbon). Many thanks to Dr. Freitas for joining us remotely from Lisbon, Portugal, and congratulations, Barbara! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The thesis has been published on UPEI&#8217;s <em>Island Scholar<\/em> website, and the accompanying ArcGIS Story Maps are now available for public viewing. These interactive websites served both as the primary source appendices for the thesis and as public-facing historical resources for anyone interested in coastal and dune histories on PEI and across Atlantic Canada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Barbara Palmer Rousseau, &#8220;Shifting Sands: An Environmental History of Prince Edward Island\u2019s Gulf Shore Dunes,&#8221; (MA Thesis, Island Studies,
