While I never took any classes with Grant Sampson, he made a difference in my life. I was a Mech. Eng. student (Science ’z, “promoted” to Science ’{ due to extracurricular artistic activi - ties!) who took an interest in music and other arts and ended up on the Performing Arts Committee chaired by Dr. Sampson. I remember meetings that were always a pleasure, with sophisticated F k h snacks and classical music in the background, and u where I got to participate in real decisions on which artists would be brought to campus.

The centre’s new, expanded facilities in the Innovation and Wellness Centre, opening this spring, have been made possible by a generous donation from Ross J. Beaty to support collaborative research and education around freshwater resources. I’m excited to think about the transformational work that will come out of the Beaty Water Research Centre in the years to come. Queen’s is water-conscious in other ways. Over recent years, we’ve taken measures to respect the planet’s water supply, from banning the sale of bottled water on campus, fixing up older water fountains, and making reusable water-bottle refill stations available, to updating plumbing fixtures and refrigeration and cooling systems to maximize water conservation. As zxy gets under way, we have a lot of good news to report, including our second Rhodes Scholar within two years, a number of faculty or alumni named to the Order of Canada, and faculty named as fellows of the Royal Society of Canada and the Institute of Electrical and k r Electronics Engineers. a l c Finally, on a personal note, many of you will d r a n be aware that I will be stepping down from the r E B principalship in June zxy at the conclusion of my current, second five-year term, in keeping ith the possible exception of air, it’s tough to with recent tradition, and also reflecting my wish Wthink of anything more important to human to return to life as a full-time history professor for existence than water.

As I demonstrate, the methodologies available to early modern historians, many of which were developed by medieval chroniclers, were extraordinary flexible, able to meet a large number of scholarly and political needs. I argue that many early modern historians worked with medieval texts and genres not because they had yet to learn more sophisticated models for representing the past, but rather because one of the most effective ways that these writers dealt with the political and religious exigencies of their times was by adapting the practices, genres, and materials of medieval history. I demonstrate that the early modern national history was capable of supporting multiple genres and reading modes; in fact, many of these histories reflect their authors’ conviction that authentic past narratives required genres with varying levels of facticity.

  • Of Danes and Giants: Popular Beliefs About the Past in Early Modern England1 Among the Popular Beliefs That One Is Likely To
    Daniel Woolf Of Danes and Giants: Popular Beliefs about the Past in Early Modern England1 Among the popular beliefs that one is likely to find in any society, whether it be a largely oral cu!ture of the sort studied in recent times by anthropologists, or a highly literate culture of the kind that predominates in the modem west, there is certain to be a large component which deals expressly with the past. A curiosity as to one's own origins, and the origins of one's material surroundings, is not the exclusive prerogative of literate societies, and still less of the educated elite in those societies; whether or not popular beliefs and traditions about the past actually reflect views held higher up the social ladder is thus in a certain sense-a non-question. It is more important to come to terms with what a given group, class or community believed about its own past, local or national, mythic, legendary or "historical," than it is to categorize these beliefs rigidly as either "popular" or "elite," though the cultural historian should properly remain aware at all times of their social context.2 The purpose of this essay is to offer a variety of examples illustrating several types of popular belief about the past, current in England between the end of the Middle Ages and the early eighteenth century. The word "popular" is here taken to mean "widely held" within a broad cross-section of society (even if only local society), a cross-section which generally included the middling and poorer elements of a community, but which might in some instances embrace members of an educated elite increasingly disposed to be crilical of "vulgar error.

  • From Professionalisation to Global Ambitions: the History of History Writing at the Beginning of the Twenty-First Century
    INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL FOR HISTORY, CULTURE AND MODERNITY www.history-culture-modernity.org Published by: Amsterdam University Press From Professionalisation to Global Ambitions: the History of History Writing at the Beginning of the Twenty-First Century Matthias Middell HCM 1 (1): 87–99 DOI: 10.5117/HCM2013.1.MIDD Review of Daniel Woolf, A Global History of History (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2011) 568 pp., isbn 978-0-521-69908-2. Abstract Over the past twenty years, the history of historiography has developed into an increasingly professionalised field within general history writing. At the same time, its narrow focus on national historiography has been acknowledged. This review essay places Daniel Woolf’s A Global History of History (2011) in the context of new directions in global history and the history of historiography. Woolf’s main goal is to rehabilitate the non-European parts of that history of history writing, refuting the traditional Eurocentric, teleological approach in histories of Western thought and the Whiggishness of many intellectual histories of historiography. The great strength of the book, this review essay argues, is that it compares an innovation in one corner of the world with other innovations elsewhere, thus focusing on multiple modernities. Woolf also makes us aware of transnational entanglements, of the simultaneity of concepts and practices in regions far apart as well as the lack of communica- tion between regions geographically closer to each other. Although Woolf does not pay enough attention to the most recent trends in global history writing, his global history of historiography will further nourish comparative studies of historiography.

  • A Provincial Election Campaign Is Now in Full Swing, with Election Day Called for Thursday, June 12
    PRINCIPAL AND VICE- CHANCELLOR Richardson Hall, Room 351 Queen’s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada K7L 3N6 Tel 613.533.2200 Fax 613.533.6838 Principal’s Written Report Queen’s University Senate May 2014 Government Update Provincial: • A provincial election campaign is now in full swing, with election day called for Thursday, June 12. The election was triggered when the NDP did not support the budget brought in by the minority Liberal government. • As a result of the campaign activity, the public service is now acting in a caretaker capacity, which means that no new policy or program initiatives can be introduced. It also restricts ongoing work, consultations, announcements and events. This situation will continue until the swearing-in of a new or returning government. • This arrangement does have some implications for Queen’s, namely: o That while our Strategic Mandate Agreement has now been signed by both parties, no further action will be taken at this time; o That meeting requests from universities to the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities have been turned down; do An that any provisions in the May 1 budget relevant to universities, such as the proposed pension framework, are now only considered as proposed, not approved. • I do make a point of offering to meet with candidates during a campaign to reinforce our priorities for the sector and for Queen’s. At this time, three of the four parties running in the riding of Kingston and the Islands have accepted my offer. Federal: • Together with several other U15 presidents and principals, I recently had an hour-long meeting with the Prime Minister.

  • Historical Writing in Britain from the Late Middle Ages to the Eve of Enlightenment
    Comp. by: pg2557 Stage : Revises1 ChapterID: 0001331932 Date:15/12/11 Time:04:58:00 Filepath:d:/womat-filecopy/0001331932.3D OUP UNCORRECTED PROOF – REVISES, 15/12/2011, SPi Chapter 23 Historical Writing in Britain from the Late Middle Ages to the Eve of Enlightenment Daniel Woolf Historical writing in Britain underwent extraordinary changes between 1400 and 1700.1 Before 1500, history was a minor genre written principally by clergy and circulated principally in manuscript form, within a society still largely dependent on oral communication. By the end of the period, 250 years of print and steadily rising literacy, together with immense social and demographic change, had made history the most widely read of literary forms and the chosen subject of hundreds of writers. Taking a longer view of these changes highlights continuities and discontinuities that are obscured in shorter-term studies. Some of the continu- ities are obvious: throughout the period the past was seen predominantly as a source of examples, though how those examples were to be construed would vary; and the entire period is devoid, with a few notable exceptions, of historical works written by women, though female readership of history was relatively common- place among the nobility and gentry, and many women showed an interest in informal types of historical enquiry, often focusing on familial issues.2 Leaving for others the ‘Enlightened’ historiography of the mid- to late eighteenth century, the era of Hume, Robertson, and Gibbon, which both built on and departed from the historical writing of the previous generations, this chapter suggests three phases for the principal developments of the period from 1400 to 1 I am grateful to Juan Maiguashca, David Allan, and Stuart Macintyre for their comments on earlier drafts of this essay, which I dedicate to the memory of Joseph M.

  • 'Free to Do Whatever They Want': Why Universities Can Punish Students for Off-Campus Behaviour
    'Free to do whatever they want': Why universities can punish students for off-campus behaviour cbc.ca/news/canada/queens-university-costume-party-racist-code-conduct-1.3864531 Queen's University students who attended a controversial costume party last weekend could be punished for violating the school's code of conduct — a set of rules implemented by many universities that includes off-campus, non-academic behaviour. But Timothy Boyle, a Calgary-based lawyer who has represented students involved in university disciplinary cases, said many schools may be extending their authority too far. "Fair enough they have certain standards to expect of you as a student while you're on campus," he said. "But now ... they want to extend themselves past their university boundaries and start regulating [students'] affairs while they are off campus. That has to be a great concern." Daniel Woolf, principal and vice chancellor of Queen's University, has said the university is investigating the off- campus party, an event that sparked accusations of racism. The party included students dressed up as Middle Eastern sheiks, Buddhist monks, Viet Cong fighters in rice hats and Mexican prisoners. Some of the students dressed up as Viet Cong fighters wearing rice hats. (Twitter) "We do have a student code of conduct which was revised last year," Woolf said. "Once we've concluded our investigation, if appropriate, there are actions that can be taken under the code." Queen's code of conduct says students are "expected to adhere to and promote the university's core values of honesty, trust, fairness, respect and personal responsibility in all aspects of university life, academic and non- academic." Racists, dummies and bad costumes: Robyn Urback Queen's investigates 'shockingly racist' costume party The code can apply to non-academic misconduct that occurs on or off university property.
