Speaker’s Corner Presents
Memory and History: A Dialogue on the Politics of Commemoration
Five historians explore issues surrounding Canada’s history, heritage and memory.
Amid a swirl of controversy, institutions named for educators and politicians such as Egerton Ryerson and John A. Macdonald have been renamed in recent years. Our panel of experts will grapple with the cultural and political significance of this and related subjects, including the role “re-naming” plays in reconciling relations between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples. The forum addresses questions such as: “What and who should be commemorated? How should contemporary politics inform and affect commemoration? Are there enduring historical truths about historical actors?
Join us on Zoom for a stimulating dialogue on a subject that matters.
Tuesday, April 29 at 7pm live on Zoom.
Registration and more information coming soon!
