Untold Stories of the Past 150 Years (CFP)
Canada’s 150th anniversary of Confederation offers a pivotal moment not
only to re-evaluate the dominant narratives that helped to shape
Canadian national identity, but also to consider those narratives that,
until recently, have been suppressed or held considerably less
attention in public forums and debates. Many of the nation’s dominant
stories and foundational myths offer a particular vantage point about
the country's origins and development, which diminish or altogether
marginalize other narratives--even as the latter have been equally
crucial to how Canada has come to assume its current shape,
politically, sociologically, and otherwise. This conference offers an
interdisciplinary forum for the exploration of these untold stories, to
nuance and complicate the record. It will give space for the further
consideration of narratives that have only begun to attract national
attention in the past couple of decades and that have yet to receive
critical attention. The objective of this conference is therefore to
consider what stories about Canadian history and national identity
remain untold or only partially told--and to consider why?
There are some surviving narratives, for example, about the arrival of
the Irish at Grosse Isle in the mid-nineteenth century (see, as one
instance, the work of Susanna Moodie), but what other lesser known
stories exist? Few are also familiar with how members of the Mi'kmaq
Warriors Society have been arrested and incarcerated for their struggle
against fracking, their ongoing assertion and exercise of nationhood,
and the repression they have endured from police and courts. This
conference will draw on stories such as these.
Untold stories may encompass (and extend beyond) Irish emigration to
Canada and related nation-building narratives; the rise of Indigenous
communities that have demanded greater accountability in
socio-political interactions and the historical record; shifting gender
politics that have showcased how public, socio-political, and legal
arenas must address persistent inequities; women who need to be
celebrated for their contributions to Canadian history, culture, or
policy; missing and murdered Indigenous women; national policies that
have a bearing on identity politics; the resurgence of environmental
concerns that are often bypassed or repressed in favour of economic
pursuits; socio-economic and class-based disparities; narratives about
those by or about refugees and their descendants; histories of
African-Canadians, including but not limited to stories of settlement
after the Underground Railroad; narratives of diasporic formations in
Canada; Japanese-Canadians, Italian- Canadian, German-Canadian and
other immigrants' experiences of internment during Second World War;
changes in government labour policy; competing regional and national
identities; and the realities of multiculturalism in Canada and the
history of immigration policy, in spite of the popular rhetoric that
may otherwise seem to suggest the nation offers an ideal of tolerance
towards differing races and ethnicities.
Abstracts for papers about such untold stories should be approximately
300 words in length and sent with 50-word biographical statements to
the current Craig Dobbin Chair of Canadian Studies, Dr. Linda Morra (linda.morra@ucd.ie), and the Director of Canadian Studies, Dr. Paul Halferty (paul.halferty@ucd.ie),
by November 1, 2016, for a conference to be held through UCD, Ireland,
on April 28-29, 2017. Potential conference presenters will be notified
of their acceptance by mid-December, 2016.

Association of Canadian Studies in Ireland (ACSI)
18th Biennial Conference
Imagi/Nation: Canada Past and Future
Maynooth University, 13-14 May 2016 |
|
As Ireland prepares to celebrate the centenary of the historic events
of 1916, it is timely to recall that the ensuing Constitution of the
Irish Free State owes much to the Canadian Constitution, referencing
that nation as a model in a number of its articles.
This conference will explore the multiple facets − political, economic,
historical, geographical, linguistic, literary and artistic – of Canada
as a nation defined not only by its past, but by a future conceived
through diverse and ever-evolving representations of that past.
Possible topics might include:
• Nation and commemoration
• Nation-building and legislation
• Mapping the nation
• National identity/ies
• Trans-national relations
• The eco-nation
• The future of nationhood
• (Re)imagining the nation
Organising Committee:
Professor Michael Brophy, ACSI President
Professor Jane Koustas, ACSI and UCD Craig Dobbin Chair of Canadian Studies
Dr Julie Rodgers, ACSI Secretary

L’Association irlandaise d’études canadiennes
18e colloque biennal
Imagi/Nation: le Canada, son passé et son avenir
Université de Maynooth, 13-14 mai 2016
Alors que l’Irlande se prépare à célébrer le centenaire des événements
historiques de 1916, il est opportun de rappeler que la Constitution de
l’État libre d’Irlande qui s’ensuivit doit beaucoup à la Constitution
canadienne, prenant cette nation pour modèle dans plusieurs de ses
articles.
Ce colloque explorera les multiples aspects – politiques, économiques,
historiques, géographiques, linguistiques, littéraires et artistiques –
du Canada tel qu’il se définit non seulement par son passé, mais par un
avenir envisagé à partir des représentations diverses et changeantes de
ce même passé. Parmi les approches possibles :
• La nation et la commémoration
• L’édification de la nation par voie de législation
• La nation et ses espaces
• Identité(s) nationale(s)
• Relations trans-nationales
• L’éco-nation
• Quel avenir pour la nation ?

AMBASSADOR VICKERS LAUNCHES THE DIGITAL IRISH FAMINE ARCHIVE
(NUI Galway, June 2015)
“It gives me great pleasure to launch the Digital Irish Famine Archive
and “Saving the Famine Irish: The Grey Nuns and the Great Hunger”
exhibit. Both the digital archive and the exhibit
commemorate and pay tribute to the Grey Nuns of Montreal and people of
French and English Canada, like Bishop Michael Power in Toronto and Dr.
John Vondy in Chatham, now Miramichi, New Brunswick, who gave their
lives caring for Irish emigrants during the Famine exodus of
1847. It is especially fitting that we launch the digital
archive on this day, after Montreal’s Irish community has just made its
annual pilgrimage to the Black Stone monument, which marks the site of
the city’s fever sheds and mass graves for six thousand Irish dead, and
before the Irish Famine Summer School begins at the Irish National
Famine Museum in Strokestown, County Roscommon. The stories
contained within the digital archive attest to the selfless devotion of
the Grey Nuns in tending to typhus-stricken emigrants and providing
homes for Irish orphans. In an age of increasingly desperate
acts of migration, their compassion provides a lesson for us all.”
The Digital Irish Famine Archive can be found here. |

communications pourront se faire en français ou en anglais.
De
20 à 30 participants seront retenus par un jury composé de professeurs
et spécialistes sur la base d'un résumé de 200 mots et d'un curriculum

society within the Americas or on Quebec's complex relationship to its
hemispheric context. Comparative approaches will be particularly
