Stephen is in the process of writing a book about his great-aunt, Dr. Allie Vibert Douglas (LLD 1975). He’s interested in getting in touch with alumni (especially alumnae) who may have known her, as he would love to receive any memories, stories, or thoughts about Allie and her time at Queen's (1939–1988), either as Dean of Women, professor of Astronomy and/or during her retirement years in Kingston as Emeritus professor. In particular, he’s interested in her role as mentor, guide, and helping hand. Stephen is asking alumni/alumnae to contact him.

McGill-���˴�Ƭ recently published John’s sixth book, Adam Smith's Islands: New Zealand's Incomparable Restructuring, 1980-1995. It is the first comprehensive inside account of the turning point in global history when numerous states embarked on free-market economic restructuring, led by New Zealand. Through the lens of New Zealand, the book examines larger questions about policy dilemmas, the global flow of capital, and the sustainability of social adjustments in economic restructuring. In so doing, it casts new light on the formation and history of what is casually labelled today as the neoliberal state.
