Historian Lyle Dick at Fort Conger
Where: Centre for Women’s and Gender Studies
When: Wed. Jan. 25, 12-1pm
This lecture will be presented by Lyle Dick, Historian, Parks Canada
What was the character of male same-sex experience in Western Canada’s settlement era? Through oral histories we are beginning to better understand Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transsexual, Transgender, Two-Spirit, Intersex and Queer (LGBTTTIQ) experience after the Second World War although the pre-war period remains little documented or understood. Illustrated by more than 100 historical photographs from the settlement era, ca. 1870-1930, the presentation will place legal and other evidence into the theoretical frameworks of Henri Lefebvre and Michel de Certeau relating to the production and tactical use of space.
Lyle Dick is the West Coast Historian with Parks Canada in Vancouver, BC and the author of Muskox Land: Ellesmere Island in the Age of Contact (2001), winner of the Harold Adams Innis Prize in 2003, and Farmers “Making Good” (Revised edition 2008), co-winner of the Canadian Historical Association’s Clio Prize for the prairie provinces in 1990. He has delivered more than 100 public presentations, conference papers and named lectures at universities, museums, libraries, and other venues across North America and in Europe. He is currently the President of the Canadian Historical Association.

Brief Description: Video production, or videography, is the art and service of videotaping, editing, and distributing a finished video product. This can include television production, commercial video production, and corporate and event videos
Video is becoming a demanded communications medium – everyone wants to see their project, idea, or program on YouTube and watch the view count rise. We’ll look at some of the basics you need to consider when looking to produce great video content.
This session will focus on the planning/considerations side of video production and less on technical aspects of production.
Facilitator:Jamil Rhajiak
