In this episode we discus penal reforms of the mid nineteen century, asylums and the Victorian spiritualist movement.
This episode concludes a three part series where we have examined the 2017 mini-series Alias Grace. This CBC production is a fictionalized retelling of the events surrounding a murder trial in mid-19th century Canada. Over the next few episodes Sloan and Viktoria will unpack the depiction of pre-confederation urban life in Ontario. The story told in Alias Grace is only inspired by the historical events surrounding the murder trial and conviction of Grace Marks. As such, rather than analyzing the events depicted, these episodes will instead focus on how well this min-series depicts the historical realities of life and society in the era.
Alias Grace is based off the 1996 book by Margaret Atwood by the same title. If you'd like to watch the series yourself as we continue to discuss it over the next few episodes it is available on Netflix to Canadian service users at the time of this instalment being published.

Inspired by the virtual launch event for the digital archival exhibition From Our Mothers' Kitchens': Cooking in Rural Canada put on by Archival and Special Collections at the University of Guelph, this episode features Viktoria and Sloan discussing topics in food history and theory. Viktoria gives some perspective into the historiographical trends in the way historians treat food in history. Sloan presents arguments made by scholars as to the potential for interdisciplinary work on topics relating to historical food and recipes. Together in this episode your hosts hope to get you thinking about the things we eat as primary sources of our era and to consider how future historians will look back on our contemporary.
