Ep368 – Shellshock in Canadian Museums – Cameron Telch

Mentioned in Dispatches

Cameron Telch, a doctoral candidate in Educational Studies at Mount Saint Vincent University, discusses the underrepresentation of shell shock in Canadian war museums. He shares two important archival discoveries—a 1919 Canadian film and a 1958 American play—that offer new perspectives on the cultural memory of psychological trauma in the First World War. His research challenges prevailing narratives and raises important questions about how shell shock is remembered in public history.
