As we adjust to the end of summer and prepare for the beginning of a new school year, McGill-Queen’s University Press is looking forward to exciting events scheduled for the month of September. Featuring new publications from some of our amazing MQUP authors, these virtual events will cover a variety of topics, from the history of dance in Vancouver, to Syrian refugee resettlement in Canada, to the illicit history of cannabis. We look forward to (virtually) seeing you there!
MQUP author Peter Dickinson will be hosting a week-long Artist Salon dialogue series for the launch of his book, My Vancouver Dance History: Story, Movement, Community. Brief dialogues will also be conducted with the artists discussed in the book, which will be recorded via Zoom and subsequently posted to the author’s blog and Vimeo account.
In My Vancouver Dance History Peter Dickinson crafts an embodied narrative that focuses on his critical and creative collaborations with nine Vancouver-based dance artists and companies. A compelling personal account of the artists and works that have established Vancouver as a dance-making capital.
For the virtual launch of of A National Project: Syrian Refugee Resettlement in Canada, editors Leah Hamilton, Luisa Veronis and Margaret Walton-Roberts will discuss the experiences of refugees and receiving communities during Canada’s Operation Syrian Refugee. They will also be joined by immigration experts to offer key lessons to be learned from Canada’s program.
Showcasing innovative practices and initiatives, A National Project offers a detailed examination of the experiences of refugees and receiving communities during Canada’s Operation Syrian Refugee from 2015 to 2016, capturing a diverse range of experiences surrounding Syrian refugee resettlement in Canada.
Join Jordan Stanger-Ross for the launch of his latest edited collection, Landscapes of Injustice: A New Perspective on the Internment and Dispossession of Japanese Canadians. The launch is part of the opening commemoration of the Nikkei National Museum & Cultural Centre’s new exhibit, Broken Promises.
Landscapes of Injustice offers a major reinterpretation of the internment of Japanese Canadians, detailing the implications and legacies of injustice perpetrated under the cover of national security, charting Japanese Canadians’ diverse responses, and asking why and how these events came to pass.
Join David Guba for a virtual presentation of his new book, Taming Cannabis: French Pharmacy, Cannabis, and Exotic Drugs. The talk is part of A New Social History of Pharmacy & Pharmaceuticals Festival, hosted by the American Institute of the History of Pharmacy and the University of Wisconsin–Madison School of Pharmacy.
Taming Cannabis provides a timely and fascinating exploration of the largely untold and living history of cannabis in colonial France, examining how nineteenth-century French authorities routinely blamed hashish consumption, especially among Muslim North Africans, for behaviour deemed violent and threatening to the social order.
