The W.L. Morton Lecture 2012

Dr. Jerry Bannister Delivers the 2012 W.L. Morton Lecture at Trent University

The 2012 W.L. Morton Lecture, ”The Tourist Gaze Reconsidered: Heritage, Politics, and Memory in Atlantic Canada” will be given by Dr. Jerry Bannister in the Bata Library Film Theatre, Room 103 Bata Library  on Wednesday, November 14, at 5:00 p.m.

In his talk, Bannister looks at the relationship between politics, memory, and heritage over the past decade in Atlantic Canada.  It examines the use of history in nationalist and provincialist rhetoric in that region, and will offer a reassessment of the “tourist gaze” and the role of antimodernism in local tourist campaigns, as well as recent federal, provincial, and municipal governments attempts to deal with political challenges in the Atlantic region and Canada more broadly.  

Dr. Bannister was born and raised in Newfoundland, and completed his PhD at the University of Toronto.  He now teaches History at Dalhousie University.   He has published widely on the early-modern and modern history of Atlantic Canada, and contributed to the 2003 Royal Commission on Renewing and Strengthening our Place in Canada. 

His first book, The Rule of the Admirals: Law, Custom, and Naval Government in Newfoundland, 1699-1832(University of Toronto Press), won the Sir John A. Macdonald Prize.  He recently co-edited, with Liam Riordan, The Loyal Atlantic: Remaking the British Atlantic in the Revolutionary Era (University of Toronto Press).  He is currently the Chair of the Editorial Board of the Canadian Historical Review.

A free and public event presented by Champlain College, the Departments of History and Canadian Studies and the Frost Centre for Canadian Studies and Indigenous Studies, the W.L. Morton Lecture is named in honour of W.L. Morton, the Canadian historian and former Master of Trent's Champlain College. This is a free public event. All are welcome.

This event was covered by the Arthur Newspaperr.
