DESCRIPTION:The House of the Dead: Colonisation and Punishment in Tsarist S
 iberia\n\n \n\nTsarist Siberia served two masters: colonisation and punish
 ment. In theory\, the one million convicts and their families exiled beyon
 d the Urals were to discover the virtues of self-reliance\, abstinence and
  hard work\, develop Siberia’s natural riches and bind this vast realm to 
 Russia. In practice\, the autocracy banished an army not of hardy colonist
 s but of desperate men and women who subsisted as laborers\, vagabonds\, t
 hieves and prostitutes. The lecture will explore how this fundamental cont
 radiction in the exile system corroded the energies and authority of the T
 sarist Empire.\n\nRSVP: Shameem Mooradun Shameem.mooradun [at] mcgill.ca\n
