Carleton University’s 2015 Shannon Lecture Series, held by the Department of History, will continue on Friday, Oct. 9, 2015 with the University of Montreal’s Bruno Ramirez. The lecture is titled Through Images, Words, and Sounds: Filmic Narration and Public History.
Where: All lectures will take place in the Multi-Media Lab, Discovery Centre, Fourth Floor MacOdrum Library, Carleton University, 1125 Colonel By Drive, Ottawa.
When: Each lecture begins at 1:30 p.m. and is followed by a reception in the History Lounge, 433 Paterson Hall.
This year’s lecture series examines ways in which our understanding of the past is enhanced through performance. What does it mean when our histories take alternative forms such as film, theatre, re-enactment, cabaret and virtual gaming? How does re-staging the past in these ways shape the history that is produced and how audiences experience the past?

About the Shannon Lectures:
The Shannon Lectures in History are thematically linked public lectures offered annually at Carleton University and made possible through the Shannon Donation, a major anonymous gift from a friend of the Department of History. Previous lectures have focused on the history of food and drink, the history of the senses, the history of emotion, storytelling and gender history.
