SUMMARY:Annual General Assembly
DESCRIPTION:Keynote: Dr. Stacey Zembrzycki \, “Chasing Cancer in Canada’s Nickel Capital” In 2014\, Stacey Zembrzycki began to conduct interviews with Sudburians who have long resided in Canada’s nickel capital. Interested in the connections between mining\, environmental harm\, and health\, she did not realize how much cancer would come to dominate those conversations. Both within and beyond these exchanges\, she found herself immersed in a sort of historical epidemiology\, which sought to isolate patterns and routes of exposure so that she could understand the stories shared with her. \n\nDrawing on one interview she conducted with a long-time resident of Copper Cliff\, Mary Giardini Blair\, this paper demonstrates how life stories can offer a window into some of the larger forces that shape people’s understandings of the interconnections between environmental toxins and health. Building on this narrative\, the paper speaks to the potential oral history holds for not only understanding individual and community health\, but also opening up possibilities for interdisciplinary research about bodies and the diseases that wreak havoc on them.  \n\nChasing cancer is long-haul work that requires deep listening in the interview space\, a deep understanding of place\, and a deep commitment to building and sustaining relationships. Viewing our craft through this lens is the only way that bodies may be given the time and space needed to tell their own stories.\n\n\n\nStacey Zembrzycki is an award-winning oral and public historian of ethnic\, immigrant\, and refugee experience. Her current SSHRC-funded project\, Mining Immigrant Bodies\, uses oral history to explore the connections between mining\, health\, and the environment and their impact on postwar immigrant communities in Sudbury\, Canada. \n\nSCHEDULE:\n\n11h00 – 12h00 \n\nKeynote Speaker\n\n12h00 – 13h00 \n\nLunch \n\n13h00-14h30 \n\nAnnual General Assembly \n\n– Electing \n\n– Reporting \n\n– Envisioning \n\nREGISTRATION:\n\nRegister to attend in-person\nRegister to attend online\n\nFor any questions regarding this event\, please contact us at cohds.chorn@concordia.ca.\n\nIn-person/online (60 people in-person)\, LB 1019 (Sunroom)\, COHDS – English\n\n \n\nCOHDS/ALLAB is located on unceded Kanien’kehá:ka territory\, in Tiohtiá:ke/Montreal.
