Park Walk | The High Line Tour


The area around the High Line Park was a vital business district of New York City, supplying fresh fruits, French Cheeses and Russian caviar as well as fresh meats to City markets. The hustle and bustle of the streets induced the City to elevate the railroad trains delivering goods to the commercial buildings. When interstate truck traffic made the railway outdated, it fell into ruin, only to be regenerated as a park.

Lecture | Constructing Ethnicity in the Americas: Language, Religion, and German Immigrants in Argentina and Canada, 1880-1930


Benjamin Bryce discusses competing perspectives about the meaning of German ethnicity in the Americas, showing how parents, children, education bureaucrats, and religious leaders understood ethnicity in different ways and, in so doing, slowly created different forms
 of cultural pluralism. Language and religion stand out as the 
two central pillars that defined ethnicity for many people, and
 the fears of community leaders and parents over both linguistic and denominational changes were central preoccupations in both Buenos Aires and Ontario. Benjamin Bryce is a postdoctoral fellow in the department of history at the University of Toronto.
