Episode Synopsis

On this special episode of the Museum Chat Live! podcast we'll be focusing once again on our very cool book club: Books & Brews. As a part of the book club series, we are delivering three podcast episodes that accompany our discussion.

This podcast focuses on the March selection for Books & Brews: In the Skin of the Lion by Micheal Ondaatje. Please note that the 2017 Winter Books & Brews session is sold out - but that doesn't mean you can't participate from home. Pick up the book, listen to the podcast, and join in the discussion via Twitter.

This podcast features a special conversation with labour historian and Brock University History professor, Carmela Patrias. Take a listen to find out more about how Ondaatje's book and fictional themes relate to Niagara's own labour history, including the construction of the Welland Ship Canal (1913-1932).

Make sure you share this podcast and our other episodes with your friends!
