Travis Tomchuk (some university in Ontario)
"Agitators of Alien Birth: Representations of Anarchists in Early 
Twentieth Century Canadian Print Media"
"In this presentation I will argue that the portrayal of anarchists as 
violent foreigners was integral to the creation of political citizenship 
in Canada. Anarchists who found themselves on the margins of Canadian 
society helped shape the centre by illuminating the limits of the status 
quo."

My podcast this week will include an excerpt of Allan Antliff's talk on 
the anarchism of anti-colonial Indian anarchist Ananda Coomaraswamy.
