vPREFACE  The Humanities Research Group of the University of Windsor encouragesresearch in the humanities and promotes dialogue between and acrossdisciplines. The theme of the Distinguished Speaker Series in 2000-01 was“Urban Places, Urban Pleasures: The Cultural Use of Civic Space,” a themethat brought together people interested in  history, sociology, many facetsof civic planning, and social geography. As with other volumes in theWorking Papers in the Humanities Series, the theme is examined from avariety of historical and disciplinary perspectives.   We are grateful for the challenges and insights that each of the speakersbrought to the theme and for the way the speakers promptly sent theirarticles to HRG for manuscript preparation. This formatting task wasaccomplished by Vera Furmanek, while Erika Hauschild prepared theextensive bibliography. Rosemary Halford co-ordinated the projectthroughout and oversaw the work of student assistants Lauren Morrisseyand Jason Walker.   This tenth volume of the Working Papers in the Humanities Series is atribute to the work of many committed individuals and to the ongoingprogress of the Humanities Research Group because it is the first volumethat includes the insights of the discussions from a graduate seminarorganized around the Distinguished Speaker Series. The graduate seminarwas taught by Professor Alan Sears, Department of Sociology andAnthropology, University of Windsor.Lois K SmedickInterim DirectorHumanities Research Group
