A Coffee with John Reid

An interview with author John Reid is presented. Reid said that well, I suppose you could say that I first got involved when I published an article in Acadiensis in 1977. It was on the 17th-century colony of New Scotland, drawn from my doctoral work at that time. I was, of course, very much aware of Acadiensis when I was a full-time doctoral student at University of New Brunswick from 1972 to 1975. As you know, the journal began in 1971 when Phil Buckner was the editor and would be for many years after that, and so I certainly knew that Acadiensis was establishing itself very quickly in those years as a really top-rate journal by any standards. It is interesting when you're involved with a journal like Acadiensis, or with any journal, especially if you're a co-editor; you need to do some serious thinking and soul-searching about what is the role of the journal?
