Association conferences

The 100th anniversary of the Canadian Historical Association offers us an opportunity to step back and reflect collectively on disciplinary structures and power, key historiographical and methodological developments, the changing place of theory, pedagogy and graduate training, precarity in the profession, and our ongoing relationships with wider publics as well as the communities we study. Our centenary meeting, “Reconsidering History,” comes at a particularly conflictual moment in time when history is hotly contested, even weaponized, in an increasingly polarized political environment. What then is the historian’s public role and responsibility?
