Kevin Allen (Calgary Queer History Project) Karen Buckley (University of Calgary Archives) Annette Timm (University of Calgary Department of History) Both queer history and public history challenge traditional historical methodologies and modes of presentation, while still committing to scholarly standards of rigour, evidence, and the formation of new knowledges. When they meet to produce queer public history, important and compelling questions are raised. What happens when activists do history? What are the special responsibilities of academic institutions to support public history projects? What are the unique concerns when it is a history of marginalized and/or oppressed cultures? How can academics and activists combine their expertise to produce a vibrant nexus of discovery? How can we queer our history? Tickets: Free and Open to the Public

Location:

The Loft – 4th Floor MacEwan Hall

Speaker:

A co-presentation of the Institute for Gender Research and Queers on Campus

It is the duty of youth to bring its fresh powers to bear on Social progress. Each generation of young people should be to the world like a vast reserve force to a tired army. They should lift the world forward. That is what they are for.
