Announcements
REQUEST FOR SUGGESTIONS: SHANNON LECTURES IN HISTORY
Bruce Elliott would be pleased to receive proposals from faculty or senior doctoral students for the autumn 2019 Shannon Lectures in History, the department’s 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 Elliott at bruce.elliott@carleton.ca.
