Co-organizers Boyd Cothran and Carolyn Podruchny would like to invite you to the inaugural season of the History of Indigenous Peoples Network.
The HIP Network, part of the Robarts Centre, brings together junior and senior scholars, undergraduate and graduate students, and independent researchers and is devoted to cultivating a community of scholars working on Indigenous history at York University and throughout southern Ontario.
The HIP Network consists of informal workshop meetings aimed at encouraging an interdisciplinary discussion of pre-circulated scholarly works-in-progress, monthly film screenings followed by discussions, and once or twice a semester field trips to Indigenous community historical and cultural sites and museums. Meetings are generally held on Friday from 9:30-11:30AM at the Robarts Centre for Canadian Studies, in room 749 Kaneff Tower on York University Keele campus.
Please find the preliminary fall schedule. More activities will be added soon. We are hoping to expand our schedule in the winter term so if you have suggestions or would like to present material, please let us know.
All the best,
Boyd and Carolyn
