The Oral History Centre Classroom (2B23, Bryce Hall, University of Winnipeg) was transformed into a functioning kitchen over this summer, thanks to an Experiential Learning Fund grant.

For the 2017-2018 academic year, “Advanced Studies in Canadian Social History” will be offered by Dr. Janis Thiessen in this space. The course will focus on Canadian oral and food history, and include both cooking activities and accessible field trips. Students’ final research projects will be digital public history projects on Manitoba food history that incorporate student-conducted oral history interviews.
