April 2, 2019 – “HIST 4302 Documentary Screenings”
The annual screening of narrative historical documentaries from students in Hist 4302 – Making Documentary History – is scheduled for Tuesday evening, April 02 at 7.00 pm in St. Pats, Room 100.
The students of Hist 4302 have a very exciting evening in the works — there’ll be documentaries about a shocking jet fighter crash in Orleans, more than 60 years ago; another about the Halifax explosion of 1917, and the yellow journalism that feasted on it; one about an heroic Ottawa doctor who reported on the appalling conditions he discovered in residential schools in Western Canada, a century ago; and finally, a documentary about the struggles of an Inuit poet and artist during his 50 years of being in Ottawa.
Over the years this class has developed a reputation for its qualitatively distinguished productions, including last year’s “Prosser: A Portrait of a Small Town” which was broadcast on the CBC.
A jury of eminent scholars –– David Dean, Professor of History and Co-Director of the Carleton Centre for Public History; Janne Cleveland, Co-ordinator of the Drama Studies Program; and James Wright, Professor Music –– will select one documentary to be awarded an Underhill prize.
There’ll be plenty of that curiously creative Carleton cheese to enjoy at the post-screening reception and celebration, sponsored by the Department.
Come for the movie magic, stay for the cheese and experience the excitement that “experiential learning” can generate.
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.
