We look at archival materials and media representations from the period, as well as recent scholarship on the complex legacies of the movement and ambivalent relations to it. Our readings include movement writing and periodicals, autobiography, art installation, film, manifesto and ephemera as we work with several Canadian archives. The course focusses on the movement\u2019s rhetorics, figures, and emotions; its practices of consciousness raising, formation of collectives and direct action; its wild imagination and something like its atmosphere. We pay attention to the uncertain and contested meanings of \u2018woman\u2019 and \u2018women\u2019; the construction of \u2018lesbian feminist\u2019 as a political identity; the attempt to produce an analysis of housework in relation to capitalist production. Throughout, we\u2019ll be thinking about the movement\u2019s staging both within and against colonialism, racism, heteronormativity, and binary gender. The course aims to be an inclusive, 2SLGBTQ-positive space and is for anyone interested in learning how to think about identities and politics historically. Women\u2019s Liberation took shape in a world very different to ours\u2013before the structural and ideological changes of neoliberalism, which is part of what we\u2019ll work to understand as we look at a politics in its moment of messy eruption and relate to its memory as a complex inheritance.<\/li>\n<li>METHOD OF EVALUATION: Commonplace book, media analysis, archive presentation, archives assignment or research essay.<\/li>\n<li>READINGS: Maria Campbell, Halfbreed [1973] (McClelland &amp; Stewart, 2019) plus online readings.<\/li>\n<li>CROSS-LISTED WITH: ENGL5804, WGST5902<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong class=\"myprefix-text-bold\">CDNS <strong>5401A<\/strong>: Heritage Conservation: History, Principles, and Concepts<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 <strong class=\"myprefix-text-bold\">Fall <\/strong><strong class=\"myprefix-text-bold\">Term<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>INSTRUCTOR: Jerzy (Jurek) El\u017canowski<\/li>\n<li>DESCRIPTION: Course topic for Fall 2026: &#8220;Heritage in Polycrisis.&#8221; Conservationists in Canada are questioning the relevance of the term \u201cheritage.\u201d Some want to embrace \u201cadaptive reuse\u201d as a new model, while others argue that the field is stuck in a colonial paradigm out of step with reality. Connected in recent years to right-wing populist groups such as the Washington-based Heritage Foundation, the term describes with decreasing precision the complex, stewardship-driven approaches that often guide contemporary heritage planning and architectural conservation. In a world overwhelmed by a network of crises\u2014climate change, mass migration, war, the polarization of wealth, and rising authoritarianism\u2014what role can heritage conservation play in sustaining human and more-than-human lives, practices, and places? In this course, we will critically examine the historical and philosophical roots of values-based conservation. Together, we will look for a path forward\u2014if not for \u201cheritage,\u201d then at least for an ethical practice that nurtures change.
