Description:

Join the Queen’s Data Champions (qDC) in a virtual panel, moderated by Dr. Betsy Donald, Associate Vice-Principal Research and SSHRC Leader, that will explore Research Data Management in Practice.

The goal of the panel is to provide Queen's University researchers with a forum to learn about various journeys in research data management (RDM) and to share lessons learned, promote best practices in RDM and build community and collaboration at Queen’s. The panel is aptly timed after the recent release of the Tri-Agency RDM Policy and increasing interest in enhancing RDM support and resources at Queen’s.

Meeting ID: 913 2867 1941

Passcode: 984314

In the summer of 1348, the Chronicle of the Grey Friars at Lynn recorded the arrival of one of the most famous pandemics in human history, the Black Death. From the south coast, the disease spread rapidly throughout England, killing approximately half of the population. In its wake individuals and communities worked together to come to terms with what had happened. As part of this process the parish church - a focal point in the lives of ordinary people - provided a space where the 'new normal' was tried, tested, and renegotiated. This talk will explore how and why the parish became the focal point of ordinary people's lives as the country recovered from the pandemic, how it was used to understand the causes and consequences of such a devastating event and how the organisation and presentation of the parish and its church changed as a result. 

Dr. Claire Kennan is the Research Coordinator and Senior Lecturer in History at Bader College, Queen's University (Canada). Claire specialises in the history of Britain between 1300 and 1500, with a particular focus on the social and cultural impact of the Black Death, the pre-Reformation parish, popular piety and medieval guilds. She is the co-editor for the new Brepols series Reinterpreting the Middle Ages: From Medieval to Neo, a collaborator on the SSHRC-funded Environments of Change Project.

Ukrainian Studies Now: Searching for New Optics in Times of Survival

When:
Friday, March 24, 2023
9:30 AM – 11:00 AM
Where:
Zoom
Find on Campus Map
Description:

Russia’s war in Ukraine has compelled Ukrainian studies to confront a number of important issues. The invasion has unmasked the need to decolonize the field, both inside and outside; to find new ways to speak to global audiences; to stay resilient in the face of existing challenges; and to build a viable base to move forward. This symposium gathers established scholars from various fields, including intellectual history, queer, gender, and feminist studies, and anthropology and nature conservation to share their perspectives on the direction of Ukrainian studies in the aftermath of the invasion. Applying the insights of scholarship on colonialiality and decolonial thinking to the concept of Ukraine as a buffer periphery, Maria Mayerchyk will analyze the epistemological challenges of this positionality. Andriy Zayarnyuk will address how the war has changed our thinking about the origins of modern Ukraine. Finally, Tanya Richardson will illustrate the challenges of conducting research on Ukrainian environmental history in wartime.

Organized by the Russian and Eastern European Studies Network.
