If you know of someone who has delivered a public lecture, given an interview, written an editorial, written a notable blog entry, won a non-academic book or article prize, received a teaching award, or has been awarded an honorary degree, let us know! Here are a few developments that members have told us about over the past months: Thu, 12 Dec 2019 17:16:33 GMT https://depot.erudit.org//id/004494dd Title: Obituaries / Nécrologie <br/> <br/>Authors: Legault, Josée <br/> <br/>Issue Date: 2019-12-12 <br/> <br/>Abstract: En termes médiatiques, Michel Sarra- Bournet, historien et politologue, n’était pas une « vedette ». Sa vie tissée serré d’une passion sans limites pour le Québec mérite pourtant qu’on s’y arrête. Permettez-moi de vous en parler. Thu, 12 Dec 2019 17:12:34 GMT https://depot.erudit.org//id/004493dd Title: Historical Research in the Maritimes / La recherche historique dans les Maritimes <br/> <br/>Issue Date: 2019-12-12 <br/> <br/>Abstract: L’historien acadien François LeBlanc a récemment publié un ouvrage intitulé Une société secrète en Acadie : L’Ordre de Jacques Cartier chez les presses de la Grande Marée. Ce livre propose une nouvelle perspective sur cette société secrète dans les années 1950 et 1960. Période charnière pour les francophones du pays, et plus particulièrement pour les Acadiens du Nouveau-Brunswick, ce livre offre un regard intéressant sur la Commanderie du CR20 de Moncton au Nouveau-Brunswick. Aujourd’hui technicien en documentation au Centre d’études acadiennes Anselme-Chiasson à l’Université de Moncton, François LeBlanc a accepté de répondre à quelques-unes de nos questions. Thu, 12 Dec 2019 17:09:31 GMT https://depot.erudit.org//id/004492dd Title: Historians in public <br/> <br/>Authors: Bennett, David <br/> <br/>Issue Date: 2019-12-12 <br/> <br/>Abstract: In the last issue of Intersections, the CHA President Adele Perry commended historians’ longstanding willingness to connect their research to the present and to speak to communities beyond the classroom. She supported Joy Parr’s contention in 2010 that historians should be attentive to contemporary concerns and engage with an active citizenry. Parr went even further in proposing that historians should not only involve themselves with the citizenry but should “engage in policy”. Thu, 12 Dec 2019 17:02:43 GMT https://depot.erudit.org//id/004491dd Title: Meanwhile at Concordia University … <br/> <br/>Authors: Whittaker, Donna <br/> <br/>Issue Date: 2019-12-12 <br/> <br/>Abstract: The Department of History at Concordia University in Montreal has been an especially active place in recent months. Our faculty members’ achievements include the Nanovic Institute’s 2019 Lara Shannon Prize in Contemporary European Studies, awarded to Max Bergholz for Violence as a Generative Force: Identity, Nationalism, and Memory in a Balkan Community (Cornell UP, 2016). This is the fifth major prize that Max has won for this insightful monograph. Meanwhile, Sarah Ghabrial has been offered a visiting fellowship at the Shelby Cullom Davis Center for Historical Studies at Princeton University, which she will take up in the Winter 2020 term. Norman Ingram has just published (February 2019) a new monograph with Oxford University Press entitled The War Guilt Problem and the Ligue des droits de l’homme, 1914-1944. And in July 2019, Anya Zilberstein will once again be offering Edible Environments: In and Beyond Montreal as part of Concordia’s International Graduate Summer and Field Schools. Just as exciting is the news that the Department, in partnership with the Centre for Oral History and Digital Storytelling (COHDS) and the First Peoples Studies program, has just been authorized to search for a Tier-II Canada Research Chair in Indigenous Oral Tradition and Oral History.
