History

CONGRATULATIONS! to Laura Bergen BAHonours History student in her acceptance to her first choice for graduate school McGill University.

"The courses and professors at the University of Winnipeg have set me up for success in my career and continuing education. I have been able to explore my combined interests in museums and the history of medicine within the classroom, and I have had many opportunities to gain hands-on experience in the museum sector. My loves for material culture and the history of medicine have been strengthened through the history program at U of W. This fall, I will begin my Master’s degree at McGill University in Montreal. I am extremely excited to work with their archives and their medical museum collection, and I am looking forward to my future career in the museum sector upon graduation." Laura Bergen

One Great History - Podcast Every Winnipegger who’s left knows the feeling: the city comes up in conversation, and an outsider comments about how cold it is, how there’s nothing to do, how it’s not very interesting at all. The Winnipegger’s blood starts to boil. "Hey," the Winnipegger thinks, "only we can say that." "I feel like it’s like having a kind of weird cousin," historian Sabrina Janke says on the first episode of One Great History, a new podcast about the Manitoba capital. "I can make fun of them, but you can’t." "Don’t you dare," co-host and fellow historian Alex Judge interjects. Read more >
