On November 7, 2019, NiCHE (Network in Canadian History & Environment) has organized an exciting conference featuring many major players in animal studies and equine studies in Toronto, Canada.
“Traces of the Past: Methodological Challenges in Animal History” is a two-day conference which includes a retrospective on the field of animal history, as well as new research on urban animals, animal biographies, and questions about narratives and knowing.
The event is organized around the “Avie Bennett Historica Canada Public Lecture in Canadian History”, offered this year by George Colpitts (University of Cagalry) on “Retail Animalia: Consumers, the Animal Anti-Cruelty Movement, and the Canadian Fur Trade, 1920-1940.”
