Department of History congratulates Jay Young on the engaging interview with Matt Galloway on Metro Morning this morning about your PhD research on the history of Toronto’s subway. You have selected a fascinating topic for your doctoral thesis and you conveyed its importance very impressively.
I’m sure the interview will help pique listeners’ interest in your lecture tomorrow on this same topic in the Thought Exchange/History Matters and I hope your lecture goes well. “A Public Technology: Building Toronto’s Subway System” will take place at 7:00 p.m., 2161 Queen St. E. (Beaches Branch, Toronto Public Library).
For any who missed the broadcast, it’s currently available on the Metro Morning website:
