Nancy Marrelli, Director of Archives, shares her institutional memory with participants during the Radical Walking Tour of Concordia.
Participants got an inside look at the university’s archives during the Radical Walking Tour of Concordia, organized by the Quebec Public Research Interest Group-Concordia.
Archives Director Nancy Marrelli (second from right) provided a brief history of social movements at the university.
“Many people who came to Sir George Williams were the first people in their family to attend university,” Marrelli said.
The tour was designed to present an alternative history of student and community struggles on campus and beyond.
Gustavo Rodriguez, a member of the People's Potato Collective, talks about food politics when the tour stopped by the 7th floor kitchen in the Hall Building.
From Sept. 21 to 25, QPIRG hosted Old School/New School to provide a welcoming space for new and returning students to get involved with social and environmental justice issues on campus and in the community. Events included workshops, panels, film screenings and more.
