Dear Friends of SJS,
Please join us on November 20th for:
"WHAT’S IN A NAME? OVERCOMING EXCLUSIONS IN THE STORIES WE TELL"with Timothy J. Stanley, prize-winning historian of the Chinese and of racism in British Columbia7 PM, Monday NOVEMBER 20, David Strong Building, C118
History is not neutral. The stories we tell about the past have real consequencesfor people in the present. Who we publicly commemorate matters. Shouldwe honour Canada’s first prime minister, John A. McDonald? Or A.W. Neil, theMP from Port Alberni who has a school named in his honour? Or ChristopherColumbus, after whom the province is named? This lecture illustrates ways ofdeveloping antiracist and decolonized histories of inclusion for British Columbiaand Canada. Tim Stanley is the author of Contesting White Supremacy (UBC Press, 2012).
