This association was a community-based women’s organization with ties to the communist and social democratic left that, from 1937 until the early 1950s, led a broadly based popular movement for state control of prices and made other far-reaching demands on the state. As radical consumer activists, the Housewives engaged in gender-transgressive political activism that challenged the government to protect consumers’ interests rather than just those of business while popularizing socialist solutions to the economic crises of the Great Depression and the immediate postwar years. Julie Guard’s exhaustive research, including archival research and interviews with twelve former Housewives, recovers a history of women’s social justice activism in an era often considered dormant and adds a Canadian dimension to the history of politicized consumerism and of politicized materialism. Radical Housewives reinterprets the view of postwar Canada as economically prosperous and reveals the left’s role in the origins of the food security movement. Julie Guard is professor of history and labour studies at the University of Manitoba.

FW: 1919 conference - documentary inquiry
by James Naylor 28 Apr '19

28 Apr '19

FYI. If anyone has any issues, please raise them on Sunday. Jim James Naylor Professor Department of History Brandon University 270 18th Street Brandon, MB R7A 6A9 Canada Office: 204 727 9664 Cell: 204 720 2117 Naylor(a)BrandonU.ca<mailto:Naylor@BrandonU.ca> people.brandonu.ca/naylorj/<https://people.brandonu.ca/naylorj/> [cid:image001.png@01D1CCA7.E31D2D80] From: orlando <orlando(a)prairieboyproductions.com> Sent: Friday, April 26, 2019 10:01 AM To: James Naylor <Naylor(a)BrandonU.CA> Subject: 1919 conference - documentary inquiry Hi Jim, Thanks for the callback yesterday. Just to recap, I am just wondering if I may send my director Erika MacPherson to film a couple panelists at the conference? We are producing a small documentary for CBC Manitoba about the monument being created to commemorate the 1919 strike - this of course is the monument of the tipped over railcar from Bloody Saturday which will go up at Market Square. To illustrate the continuity to today, filming some current issues and events would help the supporting story for the documentary. Erika would like to come on her own [no camera crew] with a camera to film some of your panelists [only with their prior permission of course]. Please let me know if this is something you could support. I am happy to answer any questions you may have. Many thanks for your consideration, [Prairie Boy eSignature - Orlando Braun]<http://www.prairieboyproductions.com>

mini-book launch proposal
by Julie Guard 18 Apr '19

18 Apr '19

Hi All: I haven't given this much thought until now, having been up to my eyeballs in teaching and then marking, but I am guessing that there must be a 30-minute space on the program for me to have a mini-launch of my recently published book, Radical Housewives: Price Wars and Food Politics in Mid-Twentieth Century Canada. It came out in March and has not yet been launched, and I would love to have an opportunity to launch it at our conference. I was thinking there would be a half-hour when we gather at the Goodwill. I could set up a table and give a short description and people who were, for some strange reason, uninterested could talk in a different section of the room. Or maybe there's another spot on the program I haven't thought of. What do people think? julie Julie Guard Professor, History and Labour Studies Office: 117 Isbister Building Mailing address: 218 Isbister Building University of Manitoba 183 Dafoe Road Winnipeg MB R3T 2N2 Phone: 204-474-7110 Email: julie.guard(a)umanitoba.ca<mailto:julie.guard@umanitoba.ca>

JANE MCALEVEY RE: FILMING DURING HER PRESENTATION/LIVE-STREAMING
by Krishna Lalbiharie 16 Apr '19

16 Apr '19

Read her comments below. She’s fine with filming, but also asks that we clip soundbitey bits from the larger piece for social media uploads. She says, overall, that she “really doesn’t care” re: live-streaming, but slightly prefers if we don’t.

On the other hand, I don’t really care. What I do ask is that whoever does the video makes themselves available to me for 2-3 small versions of 2-3 minutes of my choosing, shortly after the event. Meaning, I am starting to get these little video snippets that people apparently find useful by asking groups that tape me to let me look at it, pick the best points I make, and, post them to twitter and on my website. For Twitter, it’s max 2 minute clips (Jane learning this shit later in life is so annoying). But if there’s a good point made that might be valuable for the masses, it might be up to 5 minutes and posted on my website. > > IF that’s OK, that whoever your person is does it, great. > > And if you and the committee reeeeallly want it live streamed, that’s OK, too. > > Not really breathing till May 3. > > Cheers > > www.janemcalevey.com > @rsgexp > >

FW: Bilan Arte
by James Naylor 15 Apr '19

15 Apr '19

I just received this from Bilan Arte. This affects the second of the roundtables. I'm going to suggest that the roundtable subcommittee (which included Paul, Scott, David and myself, I believe) talk about it in a couple of days. In the meantime, if anybody has any ideas about how to replace her, please forward them to a member of this group. Thanks, Jim James Naylor Professor Department of History Brandon University 270 18th Street Brandon, MB R7A 6A9 Canada Office: 204 727 9664 Cell: 204 720 2117 Naylor(a)BrandonU.ca<mailto:Naylor@BrandonU.ca> people.brandonu.ca/naylorj/<https://people.brandonu.ca/naylorj/> [cid:image001.png@01D1CCA7.E31D2D80] ________________________________ From: Bilan Arte [barte(a)clcctc.ca] Sent: April 15, 2019 12:37 PM To: Brandon University 1919strikeconference; 1919-roundtables(a)lists.umanitoba.ca<mailto:1919-roundtables@lists.umanitoba.ca> Subject: RE: Speaker Bios for Strike Conference Program - DUE April 12 Hello James, I must regretfully inform you that I cannot be part of this roundtable anymore. I had booked my flights and had every intention on coming, but unfortunately the federal government has scheduled a national summit on disability and work for the exact same day. We just received notice for this summit, and I am the subject matter expert at the CLC so I must prioritize attending this event. I am very sorry for any consequences for my late cancellation. If it is helpful at all, I can prepare a list of alternative speakers that would be great on this topic from the national labour movement. Please let me know if you would find this useful. My sincerest apologies, Bilan From: 1919-roundtables-bounces(a)lists.umanitoba.ca<mailto:1919-roundtables-bounces@lists.umanitoba.ca> <1919-roundtables-bounces(a)lists.umanitoba.ca<mailto:1919-roundtables-bounces@lists.umanitoba.ca>> On Behalf Of Brandon University 1919strikeconference Sent: Monday, April 8, 2019 2:12 PM To: 1919-roundtables(a)lists.umanitoba.ca<mailto:1919-roundtables@lists.umanitoba.ca> Cc: Brandon University 1919strikeconference <1919strikeconference(a)BrandonU.CA<mailto:1919strikeconference@BrandonU.CA>> Subject: [1919-roundtables] Speaker Bios for Strike Conference Program - DUE April 12 Hi everybody!

Hello all, Paul Moist gave an excellent presentation at our library series today, and to yet another full house, despite the bad press related to security checks and the Jets white-out party preparations that began at 10:00 am. Well done Paul! Sharon Sharon Reilly

Communicative Memories panel
by Janis Thiessen 10 Apr '19

10 Apr '19

Two corrections to this panel: 1. I thought I was chairing this one — it’s a roundtable of folks I interviewed about their ancestors’ strike participation. 2. As for participants, all but Lisa McGifford have said that they can attend. Thank you! Janis
