Good news on the keynote speaker activity. James …
[View More]has confirmed with Arundhati Roy's agent that she is available and he is undertaking to help arrange other speaking dates for her in Canada that would enable her to do our conference as part of a tour. He thinks that, with enough dates on her tour, we could get her for 15K plus a share of travel costs.
Of course, we should continue thinking about a conference-only keynote speaker in case this doesn't work out, but it's good to know that progress is being made.

Hi all,
An academic librarian originally from Winnipeg contacted me about possibly presenting, with the draft abstract below, and wanted to know if we might
be interested in receiving such a proposal. Any thoughts?
Cheers,
David
Libraries, Labour, and the Strike.
The library, whether public or academic, can be a site of public engagement, but only if it recognizes its position between the public and the institutions of the state. Embedded within municipalities, including the City of …
[View More]Winnipeg, and institutions of higher learning, like the Universities of Winnipeg and Manitoba, but in many ways independent of both, libraries have the power and capacity to provide access to historical content and the context in which to understand that content. But libraries can only be successful at this if they give up the myth of neutrality, and take a committed, principled stand on class, workers' history, and lived experience. This presentation will outline some of the opportunities and challenges to libraries in the specific context of the Winnipeg General Strike.

Thanks, Paul, for setting up the listserv.
I've sent the Call for Papers to the following:
- Canadian Association for Work and Labour Studies (CAWLS)
- Canadian Committee on Labour History (CCLH)
- Labor and Working-Class History Association (LAWCHA)
- H-Net (so it should soon be appearing on the H-Labor and H-Canada lists)
Let me know if you can think of other places to send it. And if you send it out to an organization or a listserv yourself, please …
[View More]let us know on the listserv, so that we are not bombarding anyone with announcements.
