Subject: Public Meeting 12 June 2024: Joanna Dean, "Taking History Outside"
Date: Tue, 28 May 2024 13:16:58 -0400

Our next Public Meeting will be held on 12 June 2024, beginning at 7:00
pm, at the History Hub, 148 Prescott Street.

For many years, history was lodged in the halls of power, focused upon
great men. Then it moved into streets and uncovered the lives of the
marginalised and powerless. Now it is taking to the great outdoors,
exploring our relationships with plants and animals and uncovering the
vagaries of climate and weather. In this talk, Joanna Dean will talk
about how historians work with the archives of nature, and how these
archives have altered the way that historians think and write.

Joanna Dean is an associate professor in the history department at
Carleton University, where she teaches environmental history, animal
history and climate history. She curated an exhibit, /Six Moments in the
History of an Urban Forest/, at the Bytown Museum in 2012;
co-edited/ Animal Metropolis: Histories of Human-Animal Relations in
Urban Canada/ (2017); and coordinated a series of lectures on climate
history in 2023.

Hope to  see you on the 12th!
