FEMINIST,
EDUCATOR, Quaker, and physicist, Ursula Franklin
has long been considered one of Canada's foremost
advocates and practitioners of pacifism. The
Ursula Franklin Reader: Pacifism as a Map is a
comprehensive collection of her work, and
demonstrates subtle, yet critical, linkages across
a range of subjects: the pursuit of peace and
social justice, theology, feminism, environmental
protection, education, government, and citizen
activism. This thoughtful collection, drawn from
more than four decades of research and teaching,
brings readers into an intimate discussion with
Franklin, and makes a passionate case for how to
build a society centered around peace.
Ursula Franklin
is an experimental physicist, University Professor
Emerita at the University of Toronto, the recipient
of the Pearson Medal of Peace, and a companion of
the Order of Canada. She is the author of The
Real World of Technology, and delivered the
annual, prestigious Massey lectures on the subject
in 1989.
