At the Centre of Business, and Canada:  350 Years of the HBC and 150 Years
of Prairie History

 

At the centre of Canada's business, economic and political evolution are two
institutions that have shaped the Canadian experience, both its challenges
and its changes.  Founded in 1670, and North America's oldest existent firm,
the HBC remains at the intersection of Canadian, Indigenous, business and
social history.  Manitoba, Canada's fifth province, emerged in 1870 at the
fulcrum of a multitude of conflicts, including the HBC's ongoing role in
colonization, economic development and Confederation.  In addition, it was
the centre of much of Prairie History prior to the creation of the Provinces
of Alberta and Saskatchewan in 1905.  2020 provides an opportunity to
commemorate and investigate the historical, central roles played by this
eponymous firm and its pivotal province in Canadian, Indigenous and business
history.  Conference events include potential walking tours of the Exchange
District, visits to the Manitoba Museum, the HBC Archives and the Canadian
Museum for Human Rights, among other planned activities.

 

The CBHA invites proposals for individual papers and panels that explore
matters related to the HBC and Manitoba from a range of perspectives and
critical approaches.  Please submit proposals and any questions to the CBHA
at dimitry.anastakis at utoronto.ca <mailto:dimitry.anastakis at utoronto.ca>   by
30 May, 2020, including a 250-500 word abstract for each paper and panel
submission. Please also provide a 1-2 page CV, including the institutional
affiliation and contact information of the presenters. Proposals are
particularly encouraged from graduate students and early career scholars.
