To all members of the Faculty:

I regret to inform you that Jo Muise who has been my secretary since April 2002, will be leaving on Friday, September 20, 2002 to accept a full-time position in the Department of Athletics. During the short time she has been with us, Jo, who is fluently bilingual and very competent, has been a great addition to the Faculty.

On behalf of the Faculty, we wish you the best in your new position.

3 History Lecture Series to be Broadcast on CBC Radio I

This past spring’s History/Education lecture series, which was organized by our former colleague Dr. Ruth Sandwell, will be coming to national, and perhaps international, attention with its broadcast on CBC Radio I’s “IDEAS” series Friday evenings. This will be an excellent opportunity to catch any of the lectures that you missed, or to hear again the speakers that particularly interested you. The series was co-sponsored by the Department of Integrated Studies in Education, the History Department, the McGill Institute for the Study of Canada, and the Faculty of Education International Office. Broadcast details follow.

This series of lectures explores the ways that we, as a culture and society, use history to help us define who we are, who we are not, and where we want to go. The speakers pay particular attention to the role that the publicly funded education system plays in this process, but they also look at some of the other ways that we try know who we are by understanding where we have come from.

IDEAS: 9 pm Fridays, CBC Radio I

September 20: Timothy J. Stanley, "Whose Public? Whose Memory? Racisms, Education and Nationalist History in Canada."

September 27: Keith Barton, "Committing Acts of History: Humanistic Education and Participatory Democracy."

October 4: Jocelyn Létourneau, "Remembering Our Past: An Examination of Young Quebeckers¹ Historical Memory,"
