October 19, 2018 – Shannon Lecture with Steph Halmhofer, \u201c#InventedFantasies \u2013 Using Social Media to Talk 杏吧原创 Pseudoarchaeology\u201d<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The lecture will take place in room 2017 Dunton Tower (20th floor) starting at 1:00 p.m. followed by a reception at 2:30 p.m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lecture abstract<\/em>: Skeletons of giants in British Columbia. People using psychic abilities to find proof that the empire of Atlantis included Nova Scotia. A cult in Quebec proposing aliens invented life on Earth. These sound like something you would find Dana Scully and Fox Mulder investigating in The X-Files. But I\u2019m not Dana Scully, I\u2019m an archaeologist. So why am I talking about aliens and giants? Because pseudoarchaeology, which includes the topics I\u2019ve mentioned above, is a real concern facing both archaeologists and non-archaeologists. These theories can be found in books, television shows, and on social media but their negative impacts reach far beyond these pages and screens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With rising popularity in social media and a currently combined total of around 440 million monthly users on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, it\u2019s not difficult to imagine how quickly pseudoarchaeological theories can spread online. But just as we use our knowledge and trowels, social media can also be a powerful tool in the archaeological toolkit, a toolkit I want to share through this lecture. We\u2019ll talk about what pseudoarchaeology is, focusing largely on Canadian examples, and how you can identify it. We\u2019ll talk about the racism of pseudoarchaeology. We\u2019ll also talk about how various media platforms are used to spread pseudoarchaeology. And finally, we\u2019ll talk about how archaeologists and non-archaeologists can use social media to talk about and de-bunk pseudoarchaeology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

October 26, 2018 \u2013 Hazardous Conditions: Histories of the Urban Horse<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Speaker: Joanna Dean<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What was it really like to share city streets with animals that weighed half a ton and did not always do as they were told? The number of horses in Canadian cities skyrocketed in the late 1800s, when they pulled buggies, hauled carts and streetcars, and powered treadmills, lifts, and brick machines. In 1891, Ottawa had one horse for every 18 people. In this lecture, I will tell stories from the archives about the mishaps, cruelty and muck of a multispecies city. I will explain what horse manure had to do with the spread of tetanus, or lockjaw, and how an ungainly little horse called Brick Top helped Canadians overcome this dread disease during the First World War.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joanna Dean was inspired as a child by Dr. Dolittle, and has never entirely given up trying to talk to the animals. She shares her farm in rural Quebec with Wyatt, a draft horse, Paddy, a paint, and a multitude of other animals. She teaches animal history and environmental history at 杏吧原创 University, and recently co-edited Animal Metropolis: Histories of Human-Animal Relations in Urban Canada<\/em> (2017).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

October 29, 2018 – War Art or War Memorial? What Exactly is Canada\u2019s War Art?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Lecturer Dr. Laura Brandon, through the Learning in Retirement program (open to all ages)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Canadian War Museum possesses one of the finest twentieth-century official war art collections in the world. Until relatively recently, however, the collection has received limited public attention. This lecture explores Canada\u2019s official First World War art as art history and war memorial. Better known and recognized as an accessible and meaningful visual record of the conflict, over the past 100 years Canada\u2019s official war art has struggled to retain any substantive position in Canadian art history. Does it matter?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Time: 6:00 p.m. \u2013 8:00 p.m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cost: $30.00 (HST included)   Register online today using our online registration form<\/a> or call us at 613-520-3699. For a complete listing of all class descriptions, dates, times and lecturer biographies for fall 2018, please visit our website<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mondays, October 29 to December 3, 2018: We Shall Overcome: The Civil Rights Movement Through Song (6-week lecture series)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Lecturer Dr. Stephen Richer with Janine Smith, through the Learning in Retirement program (open to all ages)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The aim of this lecture series is to examine some key songs and singer\/song-writers associated with the Abolition and Civil Rights movements in North America. Among the musicians to be discussed are Paul Robeson, Billie Holiday, Pete Seeger, Joan Baez, Bob Dylan, Nina Simone, and Buffy Sainte-Marie. Our focus will be on how the biographies of such key personalities interact with historical context to produce protest songs affiliated with the above social movements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Days<\/strong>: Mondays, October 29th<\/sup> \u2013 December 3rd<\/sup> (6-week lecture series)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Time<\/strong>: 1:30 p.m. \u2013 3:30 p.m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

October 30, 2018 – From Settler to Treaty Person: A Personal Journey<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Springing the trap of settler guilt by placing myself in a larger narrative, I first went to Scotland to learn how my ancestors had lived with the land they had inhabited since Neolithic times. I returned with a sense of reconnection that helped me better understand the indigenous connection to the land here in Canada. And this gave me the courage to take on my responsibility as a 5th Generation settler colonist in Perth County, Ontario, including the successive betrayals of the 1827 Huron Tract Treaty culminating in the Ipperwash Tragedy of 1995. Struggling with this seems to be helping me find my voice as a treaty person. I hope I can use this voice to advance reconciliation between settler and Indigenous Canadas and an equally necessary reconciliation with the earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
