Lewis [https://www.mcgill.ca/history/br ian-lewis] from\nMcGill University. George Cecil Ives (1867-1950) was a s cion of the\nEnglish gentry\, a sexologist and a criminologist who founded a\nclandestine “gay rights” organization\, the Order of Chaeronea\, i n\nthe 1890s. More significantly for the historian\, he wrote a massive\nd iary\, observing and chronicling a sexual revolution: the period when\nnew categories of sexual and gendered identity crystallized in a\ncomplex int erplay between emerging sexological science and queer\nsubjects. This pape r aims to capture the Ivesian bricolage\, in\ncontext\, during this time o f momentous change.\n DTSTAMP:20250516T071643Z END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:6826e65bb1009 DTSTART;TZID=America/Toronto:20250410T190000 SEQUENCE:0 TRANSP:TRANSPARENT DTEND;TZID=America/Toronto:20250410T203000 URL:/tri-university-history-graduate-program/events/can adian-airmen-their-finest-hour-ted-barris SUMMARY:Canadian Airmen in their finest hour\, with Ted Barris CLASS:PUBLIC DESCRIPTION:Summary \n\nThe Battle of Britain in the summer of 1940 was the greatest aerial\nbattle in history.
