Details

The Rural History Roundtable Speakers’ Series invites you to a symposium on Canadian Rural History with guest Dr. Ruth Sandwell, co-editor of McGill-Queen's Rural, Wildland, and Resource Studies Series.  Get the program: .pdf
The goal of this symposium is to bring together those interested in exploring rural resource procurement, household economies and environmental change. We welcome papers considering daily life in any rural area of Canada, such as agriculture, mining, cottaging, the gathering of wild foods, fishing, rural retailing, and power generation, amongst other subjects.
Those simply interested in listening, not presenting their research, are welcome to attend. Details regarding the program will be available early November at www.uoguelph.ca/ruralhistory/.
