March 7-8, 2019 \u2013 \u201c25th<\/sup> Annual Underhill Graduate Student Colloquium\u201d<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As you know, the Underhill Colloquium is hosted each spring by the graduate students in this department. The colloquium provides a forum for master\u2019s and doctoral students from all disciplines to present papers on a wide range of history-related topics. The event has grown somewhat over the years and has brought in participants from various Carleton departments, as well as a number of universities across Canada and the United States, and a few from universities in Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the objectives of the colloquium is to facilitate interdisciplinary dialogue. The event is also intended to encourage interaction between faculty and graduate students. A number of you have added immensely to the atmosphere of past Underhills by attending a panel and engaging with the presenters during the question-and-answer period. We hope that many of you will be able to make time in your busy schedules again this year to attend a panel or two or three.  A full schedule of the panels can be found at https:\/\/carleton.ca\/underhill\/2019\/2019-colloquium-schedule\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We especially want to draw your attention to the keynote address, which is to be delivered this year by Dr. Joshua MacFayden, Canada Research Chair, University of Prince Edward Island. His address, entitled \u201cFlax Americana: The Hemispheric Ripple Effects of a Luxury Commodity in the Global North\u201d will take place at 6:00 pm on Friday, March 8th<\/sup>, in the College of the Humanities Lecture Theatre, 303 Paterson Hall.  In addition, Dr. McFayden will be presenting a Brown Bag Workshop entitled \u201cAverage Beasts and Where to Find Them: Mapping Livestock and other Bio-Converters in Canada’s Rural Energy Transition\u201d from 1:15 \u2013 2:15 pm on Thursday, March 7th<\/sup>, in the History Lounge, 433 Paterson Hall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The colloquium also features a Film Screening and Panel Presentation: Radical reels II: Revealing Carleton University\u2019s union past through documentary filmmaking, the finished product, by Martha Attridge Bufton, Diego Guzman, Andrea Pybus, and Tai Zimmer from 3:45-4:45 pm on Thursday, March 7th<\/sup> in the History Lounge, 433 Paterson and the 25th Anniversary Alumni Panel presented by the Carleton Alumni Association, featuring three distinguished alumni of our department \u2013 Dr. Anthony Michel, Kristy von Moos, and Connie Wren-Gunn, from 3:00-4:00 pm on Friday, March 8th<\/sup>, in the History Lounge, 433 Paterson Hall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To mark our 25th<\/sup> Anniversary, we are having a 25th<\/sup> Annual Underhill Graduate Student Colloquium Celebration, from 4:30-6:00 pm, with a few words from Dr. James Opp at 5:00 pm.   Please join us for snacks, cocktails and cake to celebrate with current students, faculty, and alumni.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
