Meanwhile at Concordia University …

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.
