SUMMARY:COHDS Choir: Sounds of Home\, Sounds of Elsewheres
DESCRIPTION:With Sara Lucas \n“Sounds of Home\, Sounds of Elsewheres” is a community choir project led by Sara Lucas\, open to COHDS members who want to sing together beyond their research. The repertoire will explore storytelling through song\, focusing on how personal and community histories are shared and passed down. \nThe project embraces the idea that everyone can express themselves through sound and movement\, using an inclusive approach to developing natural voices. Songs will be learned mainly by ear\, so no singing or music-reading experience is required. Rehearsals will emphasize breathwork\, harmony\, and unison singing\, encouraging diverse forms of expression and joy. The group will work toward a performance for COHDS’ 20th anniversary in October 2026\, with participation encouraged but not mandatory. \nSara Lucas is a composer-performer and vocalist with twenty years of ensemble experience. She has toured internationally with Callers and LADAMA\, produced multiple albums\, and taught community-based music programs worldwide.

SUMMARY:Rescheduled : Cooking With COHDS:  Exploring the Foodways of the Lebanese Community of Leamington\, Ontario:  Sacred\, Industrial\, and Baladi
DESCRIPTION:With Michael Ferguson \n  \nWhile Lebanese food has been ubiquitous across Canada for decades\, this presentation/cooking activity moves beyond shawarma\, hummus\, and tabouleh to take a closer look at the foodways of one particular community in Leamington\, Ontario. \nHailing largely from the northern Lebanese village of Tourza\, they migrated in mid-twentieth century to smalltown southwestern Ontario. There\, they built a new community while maintaining deep connections to their homeland. By the early 1980s\, the Lebanese community had its own wedding hall\, shrine dedicated to Our Lady of Lebanon\, and church. \nWe will be discussing\, cooking\, and sampling along three main themes – those that relate to their religious practices as Maronite Catholics (Sacred)\, those that connect to their labour in the vegetable picking and processing industry (Industrial)\, and those that are attached to diaspora and re-creating the homeland (Baladi). While we eat\, we will be discovering the largely unknown experiences of rural-rural migration from Lebanon to Canada. \n  \nMichael Ferguson is an Assistant Professor in the Department of History at Concordia University. His research focuses on the history of migration in the Ottoman Empire\, modern Middle East\, and its diasporas using both micro and global scales. His projects have been funded by grants from the Social Sciences and Humanities Council of Canada. \n  \nREGISTRATION  \nRegister now with this link \nAs part of our exploration of Lebanese 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.
