Events
TONIGHT: December 5, 2018 – The Book Launch for A Companion to Public History
6:00 PM – 8:00 PM, DT 2017
Join us to celebrate the launch of A Companion to Public History, edited by our very own David Dean. Refreshments and food (vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free friendly) will be provided. Stick around after the short opening remarks to meet and mingle with alumni and current Public History students.
A Companion to Public History is a cutting-edge volume for a developing area of study, offering some essays in teachable forms – an interview, a roundtable discussion, a document analysis, a photo essay – and discusses the continuing challenges presented by history within our broad, collective memory, including museum controversies, repatriation issues, ‘textbook’ wars, and commissions for Truth and Reconciliation.
Please RSVP by November 30: https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/book-launch-companion-to-public-history-tickets-52557569104

Call for Papers
HEART (Humanities Education and Research in Teaching) and SOULS (the Scholarship of Undergraduate Literary Studies) conference, which showcases the best in undergraduate student research in the Humanities, and excellence in humanities teaching. There are TWO streams to the conference, both happening simultaneously – one for faculty (HEART – Humanities Education and Research in Teaching) and one for students (SOULS – the Scholarship of Undergraduate Literary Studies). This is a relatively unique concept in the academy – having faculty AND students participate in a parallel but distinct conference.
This year’s conference, which marks the tenth year, will take place March 15th and 16th at Bishop’s University in Sherbrooke, Quebec.
All submissions will undergo a double-blind peer review process and will potentially be included in a special journal issue on teaching and learning in the humanities.
Submit online at: https://form.jotform.com/53208388541256
Deadline for submission is January 11th, 2019.
Deadline to register as a presenter or a delegate is February 15, 2019.
