| 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.
