A Book Launch and Discussion \u2013 Farm Labour Struggles in Zimbabwe: The Ground of Politic<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blair Rutherford (Sociology and Anthropology, Carleton University), will be in discussion with Andriata Chironda (History, Carleton) & Lameck Zingano (Anthropology, Carleton) for a launch of his new book Farm Labour Struggles in Zimbabwe: The Ground of Politics. In the early twentieth-first century, white-owned farms in Zimbabwe were subject to large-scale occupations in an increasingly violent struggle between national electoral politics, land reform, and contestations over democracy. Were the black occupiers being freed from racist bondage as cheap laborers by the state-supported massive land redistribution, or were they victims of state violence who had been denied access to their homes, social services, and jobs? Rutherford examines the unequal social and power relations shaping the lives, livelihoods, and struggles of some farm workers during this momentous period in Zimbabwean history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Room 482 MacOdrum Library (Discovery Centre), September 15th<\/sup> from 2:30-5:30pm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Manufacturing Urgency: The Development Industry and Violence Against Women<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do campaigns to end violence against women fulfill their promises? Please join Dr. Corinne L. Mason (Gender & Women’s Studies and Sociology, Brandon University), author of Manufacturing Urgency: The Development Industry and Violence Against Women<\/em> (2017) and Rita Morbia (Executive Director, Inter Pares), as they discuss anti-violence policies intended to help women and girls across the globe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through careful consideration of anti-violence initiatives–“The Hillary Doctrine,” the World Bank’s “The Cost of Violence” campaign, and the United Nations’ “UNiTE To End Violence Against Women” and “Say NO” campaigns–Mason reveals how these projects are technocratic, depoliticized, and executed in a manner that serves neoliberal interests and the security concerns of nation-states, at the expense of those they are intended to protect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wednesday, September 20, 7-9 pm, @25 One Community, 251 Bank Street, 2nd Floor<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sponsored by Octopus Books, Inter Pares, the Joint Chair in Women’s Studies (University of Ottawa \/ Carleton University), and University of Regina Press.

Shannon Lecture Series for 2017<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The History Department\u2019s Shannon Lecture Series for 2017, will commence on September 22, 2017. This year\u2019s lecture series looks at Expo 67 as the highlight of Canada\u2019s centennial. A world\u2019s fair held in Montreal, it dazzled the world with its daring architecture, innovative exhibits, and high-minded theme, \u201cMan and His World.\u201d Many Canadians regarded it as Canada\u2019s coming-out party, a moment when the young nation burst into the international limelight and strutted its stuff to universal acclaim. Substitute \u201cQuebec\u201d or \u201cIndigenous Peoples\u201d for \u201cCanada\u201d in the previous sentence and it would be equally true \u2013 Expo 67 was a rich, multivalent spectacle that generated diverse messages. In Canada\u2019s 150th<\/sup> anniversary year, the Carleton Department of History is revisiting Expo 67 to reflect upon the meaning of it all. A select group of lecturers will address key topics such as Expo\u2019s intellectual origins, how it became a proud emblem of modernization for both Canadian and Quebec nationalists, its impact on Indigenous rights and culture, and its iconic stature in the histories of architecture and cinema. X out the dates in your calendar to experience exposition by Expo experts that will expand your mind exponentially.
