SUMMARY:Personal Archives in the Interview Space
DESCRIPTION:With Kelann Currie-Williams and Derek Garcia \n  \nMuch of oral history interview preparation rightly (and evidently) revolves around the audio and visual recording of the event. But what happens when the narrator brings their personal archives into the interview space? \nDrawing from Monica Muñoz Martinez’s “vernacular history making\,” personal archives are the objects—photos\, drawings\, notes\, documents\, digital creations—that individuals collect to preserve historical perspectives which may not be considered by institutional archives. This workshop envisions these moments of sharing as opportunities to learn with the narrator; despite the surprise they may bring. \nHow do you include these objects in the interview? How do you record their presence? How might a researcher design ethics around this possibility? Garcia and Currie-Williams will discuss their experiences interviewing individuals who brought more to the interview than what was expected\, and how they effectively included these materials in their dialogue. \n  \nKelann Currie-Williams is a writer and PhD Candidate at Concordia University’s Centre for Interdisciplinary Studies in Society and Culture\, working at the intersections of Visual Culture Studies\, History\, Black Studies\, and Cultural Studies. Their research focuses on the image-making and photographic preservation histories of the Afro-Caribbean diaspora in Canada from the late 19th to late 20th centuries. Kelann was a 2023-2024 scholar-in-residence and 2024-2025 Student Representative of the COHDS Administrative Board. \nDerek Xavier Garcia is a PhD candidate in the Department of History at Concordia University. His research falls at the intersections of culture\, memory\, and history of Mexican American and Chicanx activist movements. His dissertation explores educational activism at Colegio Jacinto Treviño (1970-1976)\, the first Mexican American college in the United States. Derek was a 2022-2023 Student Representative on the COHDS Administrative Board and is currently a 2025-2026 Scholar-in-Residence at the Centre for Oral History and Digital Storytelling. \n  \nREGISTRATION  \nRegister now with this link \nPlease note that all our events are free and open to all\, but registration is mandatory.

SUMMARY:Cooking With COHDS:  Palacsintá – Sharing Stories and Pancakes from the Hungarian Montreal Community
DESCRIPTION:With Sonya Di Sclafani \n  \nIn Montreal’s Hungarian community\, food is not only a reflection of stability\, tradition\, and assimilation\, but also carries meanings of family\, nostalgia\, and joy. Palacsintá\, a sweet or savory Hungarian crêpe\, is a well-loved and easy dish that can be filled with jam\, ground walnut purée\, farmer’s cheese\, cabbage\, and meats. In this workshop we will learn to make palacsintá and create both a sweet and a savory filling. To accompany us\, a member of the Hungarian diaspora in Montreal will be invited to share their recollections of palacsintá and other food practices of the community. \nThis workshop on foodways in the Hungarian diaspora forms part of my larger research project on the history of Hungarian-Canadian refugees and their descendants who made Montreal home in the mid-twentieth century. In my oral history fieldwork\, I turn to women’s memories of foodways as a way of tracing the intergenerational\, interethnic\, and gendered dynamics of forced migration and homemaking by Hungarian Canadian women in the second half of the twentieth century. I hope that you can join us! \n  \nSonya Di Sclafani is a MA student (History) at Concordia University\, where she previously completed both a BFA in Photography and Art History and a BA Honours in History\, with a minor in English Literature. She is interested in exploring experiences of migration\, cross-cultural contact\, East European history\, and Jewish history. Her MA thesis examines the history of Montreal’s Hungarian diaspora\, with a particular eye to gendered foodways and food as a means of cultural continuity and disruption. Drawing on newspaper and archival research\, she has begun to map the culinary landscape of Hungarian restaurants and food speciality stores in Montreal that provided spaces for inter-ethnic encounters\, fondly remembered in some of the oral history interviews she conducted to date. \n  \nREGISTRATION  \nRegister now with this link \nAs part of our exploration of Hungarian foodways and oral histories\, we will be preparing and eating a small meal together. Given space constraints\, we need to limit the number of participants to fifteen. We will purchase food items based on the number of registered attendees. Should you be unable to attend\, may we ask that you let us know at least one week in advance? We’d then be able to calibrate our food purchases accordingly and/or offer your spot to a participant on the waiting list. \nPlease note that all our events are free and open to all\, but registration is mandatory. For any questions\, please contact cohds.chorn@concordia.ca \nLOCATION \nIn-person at “The SHIFT Centre for Social Transformation\,” LB-145\, Concordia University\, 1400 de Maisonneuve Blvd. West\, J.W. McConnell Building (Library Building). \nCOHDS/ALLAB is located on unceded Kanien’kehá:ka territory\, in Tiohtiá:ke/Montreal.
