SUMMARY:Nova Scotia and the Imperial Strategies of Highland Scots
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:Join Professor Karly Kehoe\, St. Mary's University\, for this\n
 Scotland-Canada Academic Partnership annual lecture.\n\nDr. Kehoe's talk e
 xplores the legacy of colonial privilege by looking\nat patterns of Scott
 ish Highland settlement in Nova Scotia. Catholic\nHighlanders made use of 
 the spectrum of advantages inherent in the\nWhite European settler experie
 nce despite facing significant\npersecution at home. Examining their conne
 ctions with the process of\nempire building builds a deeper understanding 
 of the complexities of\ncolonization and helps us to think about Scottish 
 History’s\nconnection with Canada’s reconciliation process. \n\nThis 
 talk will be presented virtually\, so register on Eventbrite\n[https://www

SUMMARY:The Strange Tale of Alexander Henry\, a Con Artist\, and the Strugg
 le\nfor the Northwest
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Mark Humphries\, Laurier History Department presents\, The 
 Strange\nTale of Alexander Henry\, a Con Artist\, and the Struggle for the
 \nNorthwest.\n\nFriday\, February 6. 3:00 pm\n\nLaurier Centre for the Stu
 dy of Canada\, 232 King St N\, Waterloo.\n\nAlexander Henry is famous as t
 he first English trader to venture into\nthe Northwest after the fall of N
 ew France in 1760 where he survived\nan attack at Michilimackinac\, helped
  found the North West Company\, and\nmapped the foothills of the Rockies. 
 His story was published as a\npopular memoir in 1809 and helped shape hist
 orians' views about the\nearly history of the Northwest and relations betw
 een Britain\, the\nUnited States\, and the Indigenous Peoples who lived th
 ere down to the\npresent. But...new discoveries show that Henry didn't wri
 te the book:\nit was fabricated by an English children's author and con ar
 tist named\nEdward Augustus Kendall who stole Henry's journals and made-up
  most of\nthe text. In sorting truth from fiction\, we see Kendall conscio
 usly\nconstructing a version of history that he hoped would resonate with
 \naudiences on the eve of the War of 1812 as tensions grew between\nBritai
 n and the United States over the future of Western North\nAmerica.\n\nLigh
 t refreshments will be offered. \n\nOrganized by the Wilfrid Laurier Histo
 ry Department Events Committee.

LOCATION:HH - J.G. Hagey Hall of the Humanities 200 University Avenue West 
 Waterloo ON N2L 3G1 Canada
SUMMARY:From Story to State: Embodied Listening in an Age of Noise
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:Sashar Zarif's talk explores story as a lived condition rather 
 than a\nnarrative form\, and artistic practice as a way of remaining align
 ed\nwith life itself. Drawing inspiration from ancestral and traditional\n
 ways of knowing—where listening\, attention\, and continuity are\ncentra
 l—it reflects on how stories are encountered\, embodied\, and\nlived\, p
 articularly in contexts shaped by movement\, transition\, and\nmigration. 
 The talk considers listening as a foundational condition\nfor understandin
 g experience\, meaning\, and action in an age of\nconstant noise.
