and
FACULTÉ SAINT-JEAN, EDMONTON, ALBERTA
MAY 27 - 29 2000

This year, the CHA Congress takes place at the University of Alberta in Edmonton. Founded in 1908, the University of Alberta has approximately 30,000 students and 3,000 professors who are permanent or working toward their permanency. Some of the activities will be held at the Faculté Saint-Jean of the University of Alberta. Also founded in 1908, the Faculté Saint-Jean (a francophone institution, formerly known as Collège Saint-Jean) is located about three kilometres from the University of Alberta campus. However, registration, the exhibitors' show and most of the meetings and activities take place in the heart of the University of Alberta campus.

Except for the sessions at the Faculté Saint-Jean, on Sunday morning, May 28, the CHA sessions are being held in the Henry Marshall Tory Building and the building adjacent to the Tory Building, the Business Building of the Faculty of Administration, both located in the very centre of the campus (see the maps on site or on the form). The plenary session will be held on Sunday afternoon, May 28, from 1:30 to 3:20 in Tory Lecture Theatre B2. This session is co-sponsored by the Royal Society of Canada. The guest speaker is Irwin Cotler and the session theme is human rights. Following the plenary session, the president of the Canadian Historical Association, Irving Abella, will deliver a speech at 3:30, also in Tory Lecture Theatre B2, and the reception hosted by the Association president will be held at 5:00 in Lister Hall.

The program also includes several activities organized jointly with the Royal Society of Canada, the Canadian Indigenous/Native Studies Association, the Jewish Historical Association, the Canadian Society for the History and Philosophy of Science, the Association for Canadian Studies, the Canadian Committe on Women’s History, the Canadian Committee on the History of Sexuality, the Canadian History and Computer Science Committee, the NFB and the Canadian Encyclopedia.

Also, it is useful to note that, for the duration of the conference, the CHA secretariat will be located on the University of Alberta campus, in Room T-2-58 of the Tory Building.

Le congrès de la S.H.C. se déroule cette année á l'Université de l'Alberta á Edmonton. Fondée en 1908, l'Université de l'Alberta compte environ 30 000 étudiants á temps plein et environ 3 000 professeurs permanents ou en voie de permanence. Une partie des activités se déroulent á la Faculté Saint-Jean de l'Université de l'Alberta. Également fondée en 1908, la Faculté Saint-Jean (une institution francophone, autrefois désignée sous le nom de collège Saint-Jean) est située á environ trois kilomètres du campus de l'Université de l'Alberta. L'inscription, le salon des exposants et la plupart des séances et des activités ont cependant lieu en plein cœur du campus de l'Université de l'Alberta.

En fait, sauf pour les séances á la Faculté Saint-Jean du dimanche matin 28 mai, les séances de la S.H.C. se déroulent dans l'édifice «Henry Marshall Tory» et l'édifice adjacent au «Tory Building» le «Business Building» de la Faculté d'administration, tous deux situés en plein centre du campus (voir les plans du site ou d'autres feuillets). La séance plénière est prévue pour le dimanche après-midi 28 mai de 13 h 30 á 15 h 20 au «Tory Lecture Theatre B2». Il s'agit d'une séance coparrainée par la Société royale du Canada. Le conférencier invité est Irwin Cotler et le thème de la conférence est celui des droits de la personne. Cette séance plénière sera suivie par le discours du président de la Société historique du Canada, Irving Abella, á 15 h 30, également au «Tory Lecture Theatre B2», et la réception du président de la Société á 17 h au Lister Hall.

Le programme comporte également plusieurs activités organisés conjointement avec la Société royale du Canada, l'Association canadienne d'étude indigène et autochtone (en anglais la «Canadian IndigenousNative Studies Association»), la «Jewish Historical Association», le Comité canadien sur l'histoire et l'informatique, l'ONF et l'«Encyclopédie du Canada».

Enfin, il est sans doute utile de noter que le secrétariat de la S.H.C. est situé pour la durée du colloque sur le campus de l’Université de l’Alberta, dans la pièce T-2-58 du «Tory Building».

A NOTE FROM THE PROGRAM CO-CHAIRS

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

Welcome to the 79th annual Canadian Historical Association Congress. The main themes of this year's conference are: 1) The Discipline & the Profession: From Positivism to Postmodernism; 2) Boundaries and Peripheries; 3) Popular Culture, especially Sport and Leisure Studies; 4) Ideals and Infotech: Communications and Public History.

We have the honour to welcome several special guest speakers, including Irwin Cotler, whose plenary session will focus on human rights; and Paul Staudohar, our distinguished speaker whose talk will examine the theme of sports and populuar culture; and historian colleagues from different parts of Canada and from outside the country.

Participants will also be able to choose from about 60 activities and workshops of all kinds, some of which have been jointly organized with the Royal Society of Canada, the Association for Canadian Studies, the Canadian Society for the History and Philosophy of Science, the Canadian Committee on Women's History, the Canadian Committee on the History of Sexuality, and the Canadian Indigenous/Native Studies Association.

Located near the Old Strathcona area, on the south shore of the Saskatchewan River, the University of Alberta Campus offers many advantages, including a large number of cafés, restaurants, theaters, cinemas, bars, etc. In short, if the participants are not entirely taken up by purely intellectual and scientific matters, there will certainly be plenty to distract them during their stay in Alberta's capital.

We wish you a pleasant stay in Edmonton,

David Mills
Claude Couture
