@mhayday @raulpacheco @DaleBarbour delves into some of the queer history of Hanlan's Point on Toronto Island at the end of his book Undressed Toronto.

[Mary-Ann Shantz @MaryAnnShantz]

@mhayday @raulpacheco Yes, and add to this Patrizia Gentile who has collaborated with Gary Kinsman as well as worked independently on queer history in Ottawa. Outside your geographic boundaries but Valerie Korinek's work on the Prairies is important.

"What Nudism Exposes: An Unconventional History of Postwar Canada" by @MaryAnnShantz offers a convincing new perspective on postwar Canada by revealing how nudist clubs navigated the social and cultural changes of the 1950s, ’60s, and ’70s. https://t.co/m3jNRvLeLe

@JessicaMDeWitt I've always enjoyed Catharine Wilson's work on farming. Not sure if that's "general" or "industry" focused enough?

[Mary-Ann Shantz @MaryAnnShantz]

@cwilliamg All the best, Cody!

The book explores Canadian history from the 1950s through the 1970s using the nudist movement as an entry-point, considering how this social group navigated social norms.
