The time has come for us all to embrace change. To admit that the era of the 11th Annual Michael Swan History Honours Colloquium is over. It served us well, but we cannot go back. We must, in these challenging times, push forward.
It is time, Historians, for us all to embrace change. To pull together so that we might all, every one of us, seize this moment to build anew!
"A new what?" you may ask.
A new colloquium for a new year and a new generation of prospective History Honours graduates, that's what.
And so, Historians, let us us all welcome and embrace and get with the program you can read simply by clicking right here!
is now upon us!
Friday, January 23rd from 10am to 4pm
in the friendly confines of the
Diefenbaker Canada Centre.
On that day, in that place,
in that hall of concrete, glass, learning, and cake,
Sixteen, possibly fifteen, of our top senior History Honours students will step forth
to present and take questions on their
best ... history ... papers ... ever.
Topics will include:
Victorian cartoons
Rwandan genocide
Fascism and The Sopranos
Gender and Sexuality in Nazi Germany
Buffalo Bill
The Bombing of Hiroshima
and much else...
JOIN US
for all or any part of the day.
The audience will comprise students, family, friends, faculty, and, we very much hope, YOU.
Absolutely everybody is welcome to spend as much or as little time with us as they wish.
So come join us at the Diefenbaker Centre this Friday, and see where History might lead you. Expect a warm welcome whatever the weather.
Plus, if you arrive in the noon hour you might just get a sandwich and a damn fine piece of cake.
Some things, after all, ought not to change.
