SUMMARY:Robarts Connects: A Critical Look at Substack 
as a Publishing Path
DESCRIPTION:I Published Anyway: A Critical Look at Substack 
as a Publishing Path\nThursday, 12 November 2026\n10:00 - 11:30am | ONLINE Event on Zoom ( http://www.tinyurl.com/RC-Myers )\nThis workshop explores the publishing journey of an oral history project that traces fifty years of gay life in Toronto's Church-Wellesley Village. About how the book What's Queer About Gay? found its home on Substack when traditional academic pathways stalled.\nThe presentation highlights the urgency of preserving older voices in a timely manner, the responsibility of sharing them, and the moment of realizing the wait for academic and commercial publishers meant letting stories fade.\nThe presentation invites attendees to consider how alternative publishing platforms can honour community memory and keep vital histories alive, while also examining Substack's limitations.\nRegister for this free online discussion here:\nwww.tinyurl.com/RC-Myers ( http://www.tinyurl.com/RC-Myers )\n\nDr. Gary Myers has a PhD in history from York University and is a research associate at the Robarts Centre for Canadian Studies at York University. Gary was born in Toronto and has had a lifelong interest in Toronto history, particularly LGBTQ2+ history, and has witnessed the changes in the city's development since the 1960s.\n\n \n\n \n \n \n
