Recreational birdwatching, empire, and gender in southern Ontario, 1791--1886. - 203 p.

Thesis (M.A.)--Wilfrid Laurier University (Canada), 2001.

This thesis addresses the historical and cultural development of recreational birdwatching in southern Ontario, 1791–1886, and the effects of empire and gender on birdwatchers' identities and ideas about birds. By deconstructing recreational ornithological discourse, I suggest that recreational birdwatching reproduced the imposition of British colonial rule in Canada, together with condescension towards aboriginal peoples and non-British immigrants; and the reinforcement of British, middle-class, gendered identities in southern Ontario. This research therefore shows that recreational ornithological texts provide a medium to deconstruct the impact of birdwatching on people's lives and their gendered approaches to the activity.
