18 DEC 2020 · How do we teach history in this moment and others? In this conversation, I speak with Georgina Riel/Waabishki Mukwa Kwe, an Ojibway educational consultant and artist, about how can get caught in language and to reaffirm colonial ideas of history, the past, and people in ways we didn't realize. In particular, we talk about the idea of "artifacts" when teaching Canadian history, especially in relation to teaching about indigenous people, and how "artifacts" insinuate a dead culture.

13 NOV 2020 · In this video, Dr. Glassford talks about a letter sent home from London in 1943 to demonstrate how prominent emotional labour and creating networks of home was for many women in the Red Cross. We talk about gender, and gendered expectations of care and service during the war, and how women’s experiences and expectations may have grated against these.

13 NOV 2020 · In this video, Jennifer talks about how she used oral histories to refute the dominant historiographical notion that Jews did not participate in homefront war activities. In fact, Jewish women’s participation in home front activities carried a much different meaning and weight than it did for other women due to their Jewishness. In our conversation, she showed quotes from her oral history participants and paired them with photographs with little information attached, to demonstrate how the histories of Jewish women’s experiences during the war can be lost without speaking to the women themselves.

13 NOV 2020 · Dr. Amy Shaw discusses her co-edited collection on women and girls in Canada and Newfoundland during WW2. *Dr. Shaw underscores that by listening to the women themselves – the archival sources and oral histories that are available – we can complicate the ways we understand wartime for women in Canada and Newfoundland. We also talk about a photograph from the Royal Canadian Navy and how camaraderie and safety was presented to young women and their parents as being aspects of military service.

Dr. Luckett's grandfather, Elmer Kurtz Luckett, was a steam engineer in the United States Navy who lived though the bombing of Pearl Harbor.

9 NOV 2020 · What is happening behind the scenes in the news media during the contentious US election? How can historians help us understand this moment? In this video, I speak to journalism historian Professor Emeritus Michael Palmer from Sorbonne Nouvelle University in Paris, France about the 2000 election. Using this history, we talk about the current election and the pressures international news agencies are under to deliver when there is yet to be a definitive result.
Professor Palmer’s book International News Agencies: A History is published by Palgrave Macmillan and can be purchased where ever you buy books. However, the e-version is also readily available for download through most university library systems.
