Abstract: | Expo 67 and Its World brings together Québécois, Canadian, First Nations, and international scholars to propose a reappraisal of Expo 67 as an opportunity for collective re-imagining across a range of social spaces, from the dispossession of Indigenous Peoples to the increasingly global ambit of youth culture, medicine, film, and finance.
