Hi all, Our next meeting is this coming Sunday at 1:30. The University of Winnipeg is pretty much closed. Enter through Centennial (at the South End) and go to security; they will take us up to our regular room (2B23) to meet. Try to be on time (at 1:30). It’ll probably make it easier.

Re: [1919-Conference] Regrets and consent form

Hi Scott, I’m copying this to the committee since I’m not really on top of the recording issue. As I remember it, the conditions were simply that he record it for us, giving us, and Jane, final approval of any edits to the recording. We would own it, but once it is posted, he could show it on his youtube channel. For this we would pay him. I forget how much, but we didn’t think he would charge us very much. Does anyone remember if we discuss a concrete figure? I my memory correct, everyone. Please chime in.

Join Julie Guard for the launch of Radical Housewives: Price Wars and Food Politics in Mid-Twentieth-Century Canada

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 > >
