The editors of Left History are pleased to offer this special edition volume of papers presented at the conference Scholarship, Activism, Public History: A Celebration of the Work and Leadership of Craig Heron. This conference, held at York University from May 26–27, 2017, honoured the occasion of Dr. Heron’s retirement. As Dr. Heron is a long-serving member of this journal’s editorial board, we are pleased to be able to commemorate his service to the York community, his contributions to Canadian labour, social, cultural, and political history, and his extensive engagements with public history projects.
