The Future of Historical Studies: A Symposium in Honour of James W. St. G. Walker

[Wendy Philpott]

The Department of History presents a one-day symposium to honour the scholarship of James Walker<https://uwaterloo.ca/history/people-profiles/jim-walker>, as well as show the ways in which his teaching and his research has influenced the field of historical studies.

WHEN: Saturday, November 11, 9AM to 5PM
WHERE: Arts Lecture Hall, room 105

The symposium is open to anyone interested, and people are welcome to come for the day or drop in to sessions they find interesting.

Speakers include:
Betsey Baldwin, Lorene Brigden, Matthew Bunch, Victoria Campbell, Jill Campbell Miller, Tom Hooper, Laura Madokoro, Beatriz Mamigonian, Carla Marano, Colin McFarquhar, Ian Milligan, Jane Nicholas, Andrew Thompson, and Amani Whitfield.
