Ph.D. student Benjamin McHutchion has published an article for Sculpture Journal, "Colonial Statues as Memorial Contact Zones: Macdonald, Cornwallis and Statue Removal in Canada.” 

The article examines states of John. A. Macdonald and Edward Cornwallis, both of which were removed from public spaces in 2018. The paper is based on McHutchion's M.A. thesis work under the guidance of Prof. Hoeniger, which is largely centred on collective memory.
