Dr. Renée Worringer has been doing research on the intertwined histories of people, dogs, wolves, and sheep, and two of her latest essays on that topic have recently appeared with @ActiveHist: activehistory.ca/blog/2024/10/2… activehistory.ca/blog/2024/10/3…


"After recording the first of many oral histories with Joey Hollingworth in February 2022 [...] I felt an urgency to preserve his story. He spoke with humor and details as smooth and precise as his tap." Zahra McDoom's essay is live today. activehistory.ca/blog/2024/11/0…


"Styled as a male mouthpiece for the Liberal Party, and aimed primarily at the heterosexual male reader, [The Spokesman] presented the worlds of work (outside the home) and politics as male." Daniel R. Meister's essay is live. activehistory.ca/blog/2024/11/0…


"The wolf is everywhere in human societies’ consciousness. In fact, humans have such a deep connection to wolves that they have never been able to live without the wolf in some form, whether positive or negative, imaginary or real." activehistory.ca/blog/2024/10/3…


"My collections would, perhaps, better be termed a “pack” and a “herd”; the “collections” that both inform and provide respite from my research are my four dogs and my small flock of sheep." Renée Worringer's essay is live today. activehistory.ca/blog/2024/10/2…
