April 20, 2018<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

2018 Marston LaFrance Lecture<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCultural Policy and Economic Development, 1967-1982\u201d featuring Dr. Sarah Brouillette from the Department of English Language & Literature.  Between 1967 and 1982 UNESCO organized dozens of meetings dedicated to the discussion of cultural policy. These meetings were the first sustained attempt to think about how governments could and should be disposed toward cultural funding and administration. This talk argues that this rise of the cultural policy establishment is inseparable from worry about economic development and modernization. It was the pressing economic catastrophes of the era that directly shaped UNESCO\u2019s turn toward culture as a prophylactic. But it was the permanent and ongoing crisis of integration of pre-capitalist enclaves into capitalist modernity that was the deeper source of the transformations that UNESCO sought to manage through its cultural programming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event will be held on Friday April 20th<\/sup> at 2:30 pm in Dunton Tower 2017. Light refreshments will follow the presentation. Please RSVP to sarah.quirt@carleton.ca<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

April 26, 2018<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Lost Stories Film Festival<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We hope you can join us at the debut Ottawa screenings of four new short documentary films from the Lost Stories projec<\/a>t.<\/a> Lost Stories explores places, moments, and events from the Canadian past that have deep meanings to those who experienced them but which remain somewhat unknown more broadly. The films not only re-tell these stories, but they also document the journeys of artists entrusted to commemorate these histories into pieces of public art.  Each lost story, each piece of commemorative art, and each documentary film come from the same broader project but each is as unique and special as the communities to whom they belong. Of local interest, one of the lost stories<\/a> to be screened on April 26 involves the special relationships between the former Southway Inn and travelling Inuit peoples coming to Ottawa for medical care, education, professional meetings, and leisure.
\nThe screenings will be held on Thursday, April 26 from 6:00-8:00 pm at the Canadian Museum of History<\/a>, in its Resource Room.  In addition to the screening of the documentaries, there will be a question and answer period afterwards hosted by the Lost Stories Project Director, Dr. Ronald Rudin of Concordia University.
\nNo reservations or tickets are necessary.  The event is Free and open to all.  The Resource Room is located near the museum’s cafeteria in the ground floor.  If unsure, please ask at the welcome desk of the museum and they will direct you. There is normally ample parking available on site (for a flat evening rate of $6), but there are also nearby streets and lots. The Museum is also accessible by public transit. It is also, of course, one of the great walks in the area for those coming to the museum from the Byward Market area of Ottawa.
\nPlease direct any questions about this event to the ÐÓ°ÉÔ­´´ Centre for Public History, attention John Walsh at pubhist@gmail.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

REQUEST FOR SUGGESTIONS: SHANNON LECTURES IN HISTORY<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Bruce Elliott would be pleased to receive proposals from faculty or senior doctoral students for the autumn 2018 Shannon Lectures in History, the department\u2019s annual public lecture series.  Though the series deals with the social history of Canada, broadly defined, the terms of reference encourage linkages between approaches to Canadian history and the wider body of international scholarship on a theme, so we also encourage non-Canadianists to propose series.  At least two of the sessions should be about Canada. The series is funded through a major gift from the late Lois M. Long, a long-time friend of the Department of History.  The fund allows for speakers to be brought from throughout North America and overseas.  Some colleagues have chosen to organize the series in connection with a seminar course, so that the students can meet with and hear the people they are reading.  Dominique and Ann have arranged for a slot to be reserved on Fridays next fall so that it would be possible for anyone contemplating this to overlap a seminar with the time of the lecture.  Anyone offering to organize the series will receive plenty of help and guidance along the way.  If you have any thoughts as to a topic, please contact Bruce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Call for Papers, 2018 North American Labor History Conference<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Please consider participating in the 40th annual North American Labor History Conference, to be held at Wayne State University (Detroit, MI), October 18-20.  The Call for Papers is attached.  Proposals were due April 15th but have been extended to April 30th.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
