In this episode of High Theory, Nina Studer tells us about alcohol. The restrictions and prohibitions, medical and moral discourses surrounding alcohol reveal a great deal about a given society in a particular historical moment. Nina uses alcohol as a lens to analyze the history of French colonization in North Africa. Who consumed alcohol, in what places, how much, and what kinds, what was viewed as healthy and what was viewed as dangerous, even criminal, can help us approach larger questions of gender, class, and nation. If you want to learn more, check out her new book, Hour of Absinthe: A Cultural History of France's Most Notorious Drink (McGill-Queens University Press, 2024). The book explores how the mythologizing of one distilled alcohol led to the creation and fabrication of a vast modern folklore. Mystique and moralizing both arose from the spirit's relationship with empire. Some claim that French soldiers were given daily absinthe rations during France's military conquest of Algeria to protect them against heat, diseases, and contaminated water. In fact, the overenthusiastic adoption of the drink by these soldiers, and subsequently by French settlers, was perceived as a threat to France's colonial ambitions - an anxiety that migrated into French medicine. At the height of its popularity in the late nineteenth century, absinthe reigned in the bars, cafés, and restaurants of France and its colonial empire. Yet by the time it was banned in 1915, the famous green fairy had become the green peril, feared for its connection with declining birth rates and its apparent capacity to induce degeneration, madness, and murderous rage in its consumers. Dr. Nina Studer is a historian working on the 19th and 20th century history of French colonies in North Africa and the Middle East. Her work focuses on the history of drinks, in particular tea, coffee, Fanta/Coca-Cola, Orangina, wine and absinthe. Her doctorate, published as  The Hidden Patients: North African Women in French Colonial Psychiatry (Böhlau, 2015) is available via Open Access. Currently she works as an associate researcher at the Institut Éthique Histoire Humanités at the University of Geneva, part of Dr. Francesca Arena's team looking into the medical history of wet dreams between the 18th and the 20th century. The SNSF-project has the title: “Nuits polluantes: masculinité et médecine en Suisse et en France (XVIII – XX siècles)”.

In this fascinating and deeply insightful podcast, Chantal and Brad reflect on the meaning of disappearance. Chantal comes from Mexico where over 100,000 people have disappeared through violence and kidnapping. Human disappearance leaves a hole, an empty space, a void to which our human response is often one of confusion, desperation, pain, loss, anger and even guilt.  Chantal is an artist working with abstract art, she is self-taught and learnt her craft from her artisanal family and the small Mexican community she grew up in. Chantal and Brad discuss how art, and abstract art in particular can speak to us when language fails us. In this wide-ranging discussion, Brad shares his philosophical insights into violence and disappearance in particular, saying that it is not easy to disappear somebody, and to disappear thousands takes a huge organisational effort, and asks what lies behind this?   Brad also discusses the Rhonda valley and the disappearance of jobs, of community, of a vibrant culture after the coal mines were shut without anything to replace the jobs; in his most recent book, he describes how these communities have disappeared from the view of wider society in the UK. Disappearance of humans is one thing, another form of disappearance that is finally entering our collective awareness is the disappearance of nature and the loss of biodiversity; how do we make sense of that?  Each of us has a relationship to disappearance, for some, it is a cultural phenomenon shared by collective people due to drug cartels, war or state terrorism that leads to many being disappeared. For others, it can be a personal story. We hope this podcast stirs your thinking and raises awareness of the meaning of disappearance in our current world. Bio Chantal Meza is an abstract painter living and working in the United Kingdom. Her work has been featured in exhibitions, auctions and biennials in prominent Museums and Galleries in Mexico, the United Kingdom, Paraguay and Germany.

In this podcast episode, Larry Ostola talks to Norman Poser about his book From the Battlefield to the Stage: The Many Lives of General John Burgoyne, published by McGill-Queens University Press in 2022. In From the Battlefield to the Stage, Norman Poser provides a rounded biography, covering not only the Saratoga campaign of 1777, but also elements of Burgoyne's eventful life that have never been adequately explored. Burgoyne was a socialite, welcome in London's fashionable drawing rooms, a high-stakes gambler in its elite clubs, and a playwright whose social comedies were successfully performed on the London stage. Poser paints a vivid portrait of General John Burgoyne, remembering him not only for his role in one of Britain's worst military disasters but also as a brave, talented, humane man. Norman Poser is a retired law professor who enjoyed a distinguished career at the Brooklyn Law School in New York. Prior to that, he served as Assistant Secretary of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. He's the author of several books on eighteenth-century history, including, Lord Mansfield: Justice in the Age of Reason, published by McGill-Queen's University Press in 2015, and The Birth of Modern Theatre: Rivalry, Riots, and Romance in the Age of Garrick, published by Routledge in 2018.

In this podcast episode, Greg Marchildon talks to Malcolm Lavoie about his book Trade and Commerce: Canada's Economic Constitution published by McGill-Queens University Press in 2023. In recent decades, the economic framework of Canada's Constitution has been a subject largely neglected by judges, scholars, and commentators. With Trade and Commerce, Malcolm Lavoie fills this gap by bringing to light a lost understanding of how the Constitution structures economic relations. The Constitution includes foundational commitments to property rights, local government autonomy, and the principle of subsidiarity. At the same time, it creates a platform for integrated national markets with secure channels for interprovincial trade. This economic vision remains a vital part of Canada's constitutional order and is relevant to a purposive interpretation of the Constitution. But contemporary legal discourse has begun to lose touch with this vision, with regrettable consequences in several policy areas. Lavoie explores the implications of the economic Constitution in the context of contemporary issues - including disputes over interprovincial trade and jurisdictional tensions between federal, provincial, and Indigenous governments with respect to the environment and the economy - and with Trade and Commerce, Lavoie restores economic ideas to the forefront of constitutional thinking in Canada. Malcolm Lavoie is associate professor in the Faculty of Law and a member of the Advisory Board of the Centre of Constitutional Studies at the University of Alberta. He is also a practicing member of the Alberta Bar, where he consults on civil, constitutional, and regulatory issues. He received his doctorate in law from Harvard University.

Patrice Dutil meets David A. Wilson to talk about his book Canadian Spy Story: Irish Revolutionaries and the Secret Police, published by McGill-Queens University Press. In an effort to disable the Irish revolutionaries from attacking Canada and stirring Irish sympathies in Canada, Sir John A. Macdonald established a sophisticated spy ring to infiltrate Fenian ranks. They examine the ideas that animated the Fenians, their success and their failures. They also reflect on the socio-political situation and on the actions taken by the Government of Canada's, taking particular note of individuals like Gilbert McMicken, Frederick Ermatinger, Charles Clarke and the grand spy Henri Le Caron.

Municipal services are critical for our quality of life. However, the decisions facing local governments are heavily shaped by provincial policy. The province doesn't just distribute grants to municipalities to help fund vital infrastructure, but they also set the rules and terms by which municipalities themselves can generate revenue. Over the past few years, many traditional sources of municipal revenue have been “squeezed” by the province - with big impacts on local services, jobs, and infrastructure. When we think about provincial policy, municipal policy rarely comes top-of-mind. The speaker will argue why it should be, and discuss what part you can play in advocating for your municipality. This presentation will draw on material published in the Parkland Institute's recent report, An Unfair Deal? The Impact of Provincial Cuts on Alberta Municipalities. Speaker: Jacqueline Peterson Jacqueline Peterson received her PhD from the University of Toronto (Political Science) in 2020. An expert in municipal finance, her research focuses on multilevel governance, local finance, and urban governance in Canada and the US. Jacqueline frequently teaches urban politics and policy at the University of Calgary as a Sessional Instructor. Her forthcoming book, Multilevel Fiscal Institutions and the Politics of Funding Sustainable Urban Infrastructure, will be published in 2022 by McGill-Queens University Press. Prior to entering academia, Jacqueline worked for elected representatives in both Calgary's City Council and the Alberta Legislature.

Part One: “The Kids In The Hall”: Our interview with guests, Jacob Stauttener and Evan Switzer, borrows its title from the 1990s Canadian comedy show, "The Kids in the Hall".   Two (youngish) grandads, call us The Airfix Generation, put two (youngish) gamers, call them The GW Generation, on the spor to talk about generational differences and crossovers. We talk about crossovers from the kind of turnkey gaming systems that young gamers find in a Games Workshop store to more "obscure" (shhhh, don't use that word around James!) games.  We talk about the appeal of creative and collaborative projects such as Evan's role in The Ninth Age, a player-driven continuation of the old Warhammer Fantasy system.  We also wonder if old gamers, like old church people, can stop clutching their pearls about "Where are the young people" and trust that the next generation will find its way into the hobby and make it their own.  And that's a good thing, we conclude.

Patrice Dutil talks with Michael Boudreau and Bonnie Huskins about what they discovered about working class culture in Saint John, New Brunswick in the post 1945 era. They discuss Ida Martin's 50-year diary and what it reveals about her society. Ida Martin ideas about family, work, marriage, social solidarity, and politics are explored. Her diary demonstrates an active mind concerned with daily worries and small triumphs—the pleasures and pains of the life ordinary. Boudreau and Huskins both teach at St. Thomas University in New Brunswick and their book is entitled Just the Usual Work: The Social Worlds of Ida Martin, Working Class Diarist. It is published by McGill-Queens University Press. This podcast was produced by Jessica Schmidt.

Welcome to the first episode of our second season of the Ways of Knowing podcast. In this episode Dr. Carla Nappi, a historian of the pre-modern world, joins 2020 Wall Scholar Dr. Carrie Jenkins to discuss what happens when academic scholarship and creative art practice collide, and the experience of collaborating across disciplinary and other boundaries.Dr. Nappi is Andrew Mellon Professor of History at the University of Pittsburgh, and her most recent book is Translating Early Modern China: Illegible Cities (OUP 2021). She and Dr. Jenkins are long-standing academic and artistic collaborators. Their co-authored book of poetry, Uninvited: Talking Back to Plato, was published in 2020 by McGill Queens University Press.

In post-World War II Canada, black women's positions within the teaching profession served as sites of struggle and conflict as the nation worked to address the needs of its diversifying population. From their entry into teachers' college through their careers in the classroom and administration, black women educators encountered systemic racism and gender barriers at every step. So they worked to change the system. Using oral narratives to tell the story of black access and education in Ontario between the 1940s and the 1980s, Schooling the System provides textured insight into how issues of race, gender, class, geographic origin, and training shaped women's distinct experiences within the profession.  In Schooling the System: A History of Black Women Teachers (McGill-Queen's UP, 2021), Funké Aladejebi illustrates that black women, as a diverse group, made vital contributions to the creation and development of anti-racist education in Canada. As cultural mediators within Ontario school systems, these women circumvented subtle and overt forms of racial and social exclusion to create resistive teaching methods that centred black knowledges and traditions. Within their wider communities and activist circles, they fought to change entrenched ideas about what Canadian citizenship should look like. As schools continue to grapple with creating diverse educational programs for all Canadians, Schooling the System is a timely excavation of the meaningful contributions of black women educators who helped create equitable policies and practices in schools and communities.

In post-World War II Canada, black women's positions within the teaching profession served as sites of struggle and conflict as the nation worked to address the needs of its diversifying population. From their entry into teachers' college through their careers in the classroom and administration, black women educators encountered systemic racism and gender barriers at every step. So they worked to change the system. Using oral narratives to tell the story of black access and education in Ontario between the 1940s and the 1980s, Schooling the System provides textured insight into how issues of race, gender, class, geographic origin, and training shaped women's distinct experiences within the profession.  In Schooling the System: A History of Black Women Teachers (McGill-Queen's UP, 2021), Funké Aladejebi illustrates that black women, as a diverse group, made vital contributions to the creation and development of anti-racist education in Canada. As cultural mediators within Ontario school systems, these women circumvented subtle and overt forms of racial and social exclusion to create resistive teaching methods that centred black knowledges and traditions. Within their wider communities and activist circles, they fought to change entrenched ideas about what Canadian citizenship should look like. As schools continue to grapple with creating diverse educational programs for all Canadians, Schooling the System is a timely excavation of the meaningful contributions of black women educators who helped create equitable policies and practices in schools and communities.

Entretien avec Alice Pannier, chercheure à l'Ifri, responsable du programme Géopolitique des technologies et auteure de Rivals in arms. La France et la Grande-Bretagne disposent des deux armées les plus importantes en Europe. Elles sont également les seules détentrices de l'arme nucléaire sur le vieux continent. Leur coopération en matière militaire remonte au début du XXe siècle, mais s’est intensifiée au cours des trois dernières décennies et notamment depuis les accords de Lancaster House signés en 2010. Quels sont les contours de cette coopération militaire en bilatérale ? Comment s'imbrique-t-elle dans l'Otan et l'Union européenne ? ► Rivals in arms, de Alice Pannier, publié aux éditions canadiennes McGill-Queens University Press.

Dr. Ball is also published frequently in leading newspapers and magazines across Canada and, increasingly, the U.S. and abroad. In this show we will be discussing one of the "hottest" subjects on the planet: - Global Warming/Climate Change - Is it human caused, partially human caused, or a natural cyclical phenomenon? - Why are all legitimate challengers to the official UN sponsored climate doctrine demonized and silenced from the discussion despite proper scientific due process in formulating much needed debate? - Is there really a "97% consensus" in the scientific community about climate change? - Has there been deliberate corruption of climate science? If so, where is it coming from and what is the motive? This and more.

In this episode, I talk with Dr. Adam Montgomery about his book "The Invisible Injured: Psychological Trauma in the Canadian Military from the First World War to Afghanistan". "The Invisible Injured", published by McGill-Queens University Press and available on Amazon and Indigo, is the first book-length history of how war and peacekeeping trauma affected Canadian soldiers from 1914 to 2014.   Our conversation ranges on many important topics that "The Invisible Injured" raises, including: how psychological trauma has been interpreted and reinterpreted since the First World War in the Canadian context, and the role masculinity as a gender identity has played in identifying and diagnosing trauma in the military.   Adam Montgomery is a historian of medicine and Canadian military history. His research uses history to assess medical and cultural change over time, particularly regarding society’s view of mental health and illness. The book of our discussion, "The Invisible Injured", received an Amazon bestseller tag after its release in May 2017. Adam is also the co-author of the forthcoming book "After the War'".
