SUMMARY:Queer Oral History
DESCRIPTION:with Gabryelle Iaconetti and Liam Devitt   \nEnglish   \nThe workshop and discussion will offer reflections on methodological and ethical approaches to undertaking queer oral history in research. How does one conduct oral history interviews with queer narrators? What is particular about queer oral history? How has oral testimony been significant in the figuration of queer histories? \nThis panels brings together historians Gabryelle Iaconetti and Liam Devitt\, who use oral histories in their various research milieus related to queer labour and activism. \n\nGabryelle Iaconetti (she/they) is a first year PhD student at Concordia University in Montreal\, Quebec under the supervision of Dr. Rachel Berger. She holds a BA and MA in History from Concordia University and MISt (Master of Information Studies) from McGill University. Her research interests lie at the intersections of bisexual history\, oral history\, queer space\, queer theory and archives. \nLiam Devitt is a public historian and writer based in Tiohti:áke/Montréal. They are an MA student at Concordia University\, where they work with the Deindustrialization and the Politics of Our Time research initiative. Their thesis examines how deindustrialization affected queer communities in Cape Breton. Currently\, they work as a research consultant for Ingenium Canada on a new project examining queer histories of industrial work. Previously\, they were a research and curatorial assistant for the “InQueeries: 2SLGBTQ Histories of Southwestern Alberta” exhibit at the Galt Museum and Archives. Liam’s byline can be found in Jacobin\, THIS Magazine\, and Briarpatch Magazine. \n  \nREGISTRATION  \nPlease note that all of our events are free and open to all\, but you need to register!

SUMMARY:Book Launch: Out to Defend Ourselves: A History of Montreal's First Haitian Street Gang
DESCRIPTION:with Maxime Aurélien and Ted Rutland \nYou are cordially invited to join authors Maxime Aurélien and Ted Rutland for a discussion on their new book: Out to Defend Ourselves: A History of Montreal’s First Haitian Street Gang \nAbout the book: \nThis first critical history of a street gang in a Canadian city is a result of a four-year collaboration between a university professor (Ted Rutland) and the leader of les Bélangers (Maxime Aurélien). Out to Defend Ourselves tells the story of Montreal’s first Haitian street gang\, les Bélangers. It traces how the gang emerged from a group of Haitian friends\, the children of migrants from Haiti in the 1970s. It documents the forms of racial violence they experienced and their battles against them. It also documents the everyday lives of the gang members\, the petty crime some members engaged in to make ends meet\, and how the police actions against the gang changed its nature and function – making it\, finally\, a more criminally oriented and violent formation. It is a story about a gang\, but it is also a story of young Haitians making their lives in 1970s and 80s Montreal and a story about Montreal in a period of great change. \n\nMaxime Aurélien is the former leader of les Bélangers\, Montreal’s first Haitian street gang. He is the owner of Cash Content\, a pawn shop and barbershop in Montreal’s east end. \nTed Rutland is a professor at Concordia University. His research and activism focuses on the racial politics of urban planning and policing in Canadian cities. He is the author of Displacing Blackness: Planning\, Power\, and Race in Twentieth-Century Halifax. \n  \n\nREGISTRATION  \nPlease note that all of our events are free and open to all. For any questions and to register\, contact us at: cohds.chorn@concordia.ca  \nIn-person at LB-1019 (Sunroom) \n   \nCOHDS/ALLAB is located on unceded Kanien’kehá:ka territory\, in Tiohtiá:ke/Montreal.

SUMMARY:Voices of the Immigrant Workers’ Centre
DESCRIPTION:with Lauren Laframboise and Stefan Christoff  \nIn 2007\, Montreal-based garment manufacturer Lamour prepared to shutter its Canadian production activities\, gradually laying off nearly 500 of its employees to circumvent labour legislation that would force the company to pay collective layoff benefits. Over 2007 and 2008\, Lamour workers and community organizers at the Immigrant Workers Centre (IWC) engaged in a struggle to gain compensation for Lamour employees. In 2023\, Stefan Christoff and Lauren Laframboise recorded short oral history interviews with four IWC organizers who were involved in the Lamour struggle (Mostafa Henaway\, Joey Calugay\, Yumna Siddiqi and Bita Mary Eslami). The interviews reveal the crucial role that the IWC plays in non-unionized industries that primarily employ immigrant workers. The IWC organizers also reflect on their own paths to community organizing\, and the ways that work has continued to transform amidst the rise in the logistics industry and temporary employment agencies.   \nThe interviews were broadcasted on the community radio show Free City Radio in September and October 2023. Based at CKUT 90.3 FM\, Free City Radio is hosted and produced by Stefan Christoff and is syndicated at five radio stations across Canada\, broadcast on Radio AlHara in occupied Palestine\, and is also released as a podcast on Spotify and Apple Podcasts. The interviews were also completed in partnership with the Deindustrialization and the Politics of Our Time project based at COHDS. Listen to the interviews and find out more about the project here. This event will bring together those who were interviewed in a panel-style discussion to look back on the Lamour campaign collectively.   \n\nLauren Laframboise is a PhD student in History at Concordia and a Student Representative on the COHDS Administrative Board. Her research explores the impacts of deindustrialization in the apparel industry in Montréal and New York City. In 2021\, Lauren completed her MA in History at Concordia\, and from 2020-2022 she was the Associate Director of Deindustrialization and the Politics of Our Time (DéPOT). She has worked on a variety of public history projects exploring labour and immigration history\, including museum exhibitions\, online oral history platforms\, walking tours\, and documentary film and radio. She is also a member of the Concordia Research and Education Workers’ Union (CREW–CSN) Organizing Council and Co-convener of their Feminist Workplace Committee. \nStefan Christoff is a musician\, community radio host and student living in Tiohtià:ke / Montréal. \nMostafa Henaway\, a Canadian-born Egyptian\, is a long-time community organizer at the Immigrant Workers Centre in Montreal\, where he has been organizing for justice for immigrant/migrant workers for over two decades. He is also a researcher and PhD candidate at Concordia University. \nYumna Siddiqi is an Associate Professor of English at Middlebury College\, where she specializes in postcolonial literary studies. Her current research is on postcolonial literature\, migrants and the city. She has been a volunteer at the IWC-CTI since 2006\, and seen the Center grow from the little NGO that could to an immigrant labour power house. \nBita Mary Eslami is an Irani exile and a forever Montrealer. For two decades she has supported non-status and migrant families\, victims of police violence\, promoted child care and worked to advance the international BDS movement in solidarity with Palestinians. \n  \n\nREGISTRATION  \nPlease note that all of our events are free and open to all\, but you need to register!
