"We Want More History"

Historian friends and colleagues:

We are writing to share an exciting initiative of a group of historians, librarians, and park advocates to organize “We Want Mor History”.  We want to celebrate a national day of celebrating histories as a means to strengthen civic health, build community trust, foster democratic dialogue, and showcase the essential role of history in public life. Celebrated on September 26, 2026 in your communities we invite you to participate in the days advocacy for more history.   “We Want More History” is a purely volunteer effort to coordinate a day of programming focused on the many and diverse histories of our places. To find out more see our website  https://www.wewantmorehistory.org

We are an informal community of historians alongside those from the Organization of American Historians, the American Historical Association, Urban Library Council, the Association for Rural & Small Libraries, and the National Council for the Social Studies (NCSS) .  Partnering with us is the Association for State and Local History, Association for the Study of African American Life and History, National Council on Public History, Explore Kentucky, Dumbarton Oaks, and Gilder Lehrman Center at Yale with more joining us as we build.

We Want More History is a coordinated national day of programming to underscore the essential role of history in public life. It responds to growing efforts to narrow or politicize historical interpretation by activating trusted public institutions where people already gather to learn, reflect, and engage. 

The project is designed to be visible, participatory, and replicable, creating a shared national moment while strengthening long-term relationships between libraries, historians, educators, land managers, and community partners. Timed to align with America 250-era programming, it ensures that national commemorations reflect the full, complex story of the people and places that make up the United States.

To support your participation, we have created a toolkit for historians and for hosts. They are on our website and can be used and adapted for any historian and any host. We are here to support any and all who want to participate.

Call for Proposals: Labour and the Environment

Simon Fraser University

4^th Annual Voices in Labour Studies Speaker Series

Symposium on Labour and the Environment

Feb. 11-13, 2027

Simon Fraser University Centre Downtown
Vancouver, British Columbia

‘‘The first premise of all human history is, of course, the existence of living, human individuals.  Thus, the first fact to be established is the physical organization of these individuals and their consequent relation to the rest of nature.’’ – Karl Marx and Frederich Engels, The German Ideology

Encouraged by ongoing, fruitful contributions to the hybrid field of labour and environmental studies, we are organizing a three-day symposium on the ways those areas have been, are now, and could be brought together, ranging across time and varying by geographic scope.  The first evening of the symposium will feature a keynote speaker on “Working-Class Environmentalism,” followed by a day-long set of paper presentations, and concluding with a final guided morning session.

The primary aim of the gathering is to assemble a group of two dozen key scholars from various disciplines to address the dual theme of labour and environment.  The secondary aim is to draw enough quality participation for a planned ‘special section’ in the journal Labour/Le Travail.  With both goals in mind, presenters should be willing and able to share a full paper draft with all other participants ahead of time.

If you are interested in making a presentation as an individual, please submit a professional c.v. of no more than two pages as well as a paper abstract of no more than 350 words.  If you are planning to participate as a part of a panel, please submit c.v.’s and abstracts for each paper as well as a group abstract of no more than 250 words.  These materials should be sent by email to John-Henry Harter (jhharter@sfu.ca) and Chad Montrie (chad_montrie@uml.edu) by September 1, 2026.

Current symposium sponsors include:
Labour Studies at Simon Fraser University, the Canadian Committee on Labour History,
and the European Society for Environmental History
