By Rachel Collishaw

Welcome back to another school year! I have already heard from many of our members who are excited to put their summer learning to work. I am also excited for all of the new relationships that you are going to build with your students and colleagues this year. If we support each other, we can better support our students’ learning. I hope that OHASSTA can be a haven of support and learning for you in what promises to be a challenging school year ahead.

It’s been a busy summer for OHASSTA! We started off with the Wilson Institute Retreat for Teachers in July at McMaster University. Thanks to Mike Clare and John Piper for putting this new event on and taking care of the details. There was a lot of food for thought about teaching and learning of history from both academic and practical perspectives. There was also a lot of time for great meals and conversations and relationship-building!

As your president, I have been continuing to work with The Collaborative, a not-for-profit organization that aims to connect teachers and post-secondary educators through an innovative online platform. The goal is to bring experts in the social sciences into your classroom to support your students’ inquiry. The Collaborative is supporting our fall conference this year in so many ways, and you’ll be able to find out more about how you can get involved in this emerging project at our conference November 1-2 at McMaster University.

Missing in Action: Finding Women’s Historical Narratives to include in our History teaching.

Welcome back to another school year! I hope it is a positive year for everyone. I am thrilled to be writing a column this year about where to access women’s historical narratives for your history courses, and how you might incorporate them in new ways. Women are half the population, but do not receive half the focus in history courses. The work to include women in history courses relies heavily on teacher commitment but there are plentiful resources available and I hope this column will provide some good resources and a few ideas of how they might work.

So in honour of Labour Day and a return to our classrooms, this column will focus on women and labour. Women have always worked both inside and outside the home. In pre-colonial societies, Indigenous men and women shared invaluable roles within their societies.  European culture established that men were superior to women and settler socialites embraced similar gender divisions. Patriarchy lessened the traditional, honoured, and respected roles Indigenous women had as leaders in their communities.
