Biography

Thomas Wien has taught the history of New France and the Atlantic world, as well as historiography at the Department of History at the Université de Montréal. His recent work focuses on the physician Jean-François Gaultier, pioneer Pierre Boucher, and historian François-Xavier Garneau. Thomas is deeply interested in the circulation of people, goods, and knowledge between Native French America and Europe from 1660 to 1800. He continues research on North American fur trade routes, emphasizing the exchanges that extended Native American lands eastward towards Asia. One of his major projects explores the circulation of knowledge, particularly through the work of Jean-François Gaultier as the King's physician and correspondent with the Royal Academy of Sciences in Quebec City. He investigates the historiography of popular memory, focusing on the legacy of the French Regime in Canada following the Conquest of 1759.
