We are thrilled to announce the upcoming annual MacKinnon Dinner on March 15th, 2024, at 6:00 pm. This event, steeped in tradition, is an unforgettable experience for all attendees and is a time to come together to honour one of the department's most influential figures, esteemed professor, Father Hugh MacKinnon, and celebrate the wider University of Waterloo History community.
This year's MacKinnon Dinner will delve into the theme "Bad History and its effects on historical narratives". Embracing Professor MacKinnon's passion for intellectual discourse and scholarly pursuits, we have invited Dr. Geoffrey Hayes to deliver a talk on the theme, with Dr. Daniel Gorman providing introductory remarks.
Professor MacKinnon firmly believed that proper attire and venue promoted serious study and community, and thus, in this spirit, the MacKinnon Dinner is hosted as a formal event, starting at 6:00 pm, with a 3-course dinner to be served.
Tickets will be on sale online from Friday, February 23rd, 2024 to Friday, March 1st, 2024, at a cost of $20.00 for University of Waterloo students and $30.00 for non-students.
When ticket sales begin, the link to purchase tickets will be sent in a follow-up email.
