Memoirs recount personal and professional journeys at Newfoundland’s sole university from 1950 to 1990. Diverse educators from afar reveal how a post-colonial cultural renaissance fueled innovative interdisciplinary studies and forged enduring bonds that transformed academic and community life.

Creating a University is a collection of memoirs by more than 30 former faculty and staff of Memorial University — a series of "MUNographies,"— about personal and professional experiences working at Newfoundland's only university. It is something of a Memorial University family reunion, without a drunken uncle.

In the years covered by this volume, primarily 1950 to 1990, few Memorial faculty were Canadians, let alone Newfoundlanders. These "come from aways" arrived in the middle of a post-colonial cultural renaissance, which saw a movement toward new interdisciplinary studies, and laid the groundwork for many of the programs and courses that are offered at the University today.
