Making Stories Centre for Reformation and Renaissance Studies Presents Making Stories An International Conference in honour of elizabeth and Tom Cohen November 1 – 3, 2019 CRRS.CA/MAKINGSTORIES Land Acknowledgements York University We recognize that many Indigenous nations have longstanding re- lationships with the territories upon which York University campuses are located that preceded the establishment of York University. York Uni- versity acknowledges its presensce on the traditional territory of many Indigenous nations. The area known as the Tkaronto has been taken care of by the Anishinabek Nation, the Haudenasaunee Confederacy, the Huron-Wendat, and the Métis. It is now home to many Indigenous peo- ples. We acknowledge the current treaty holders, the Missassaugas of the Credit First Nation. This territory is subject of the Dish with One Spoon Wampum Belt Covenant, and agreement to peaceably share and care for the Great Lakes Region. University of Toronto We wish to acknowledge this land on which the University of Toronto operates. For thousands of years it has been the traditional land of the Huron-Wendat, the Seneca and most recently, the Missassaugas of the Credit River. Today, this meeting place is still the home of many Indigenous people from across Turtle Island, and we are grateful to have the opporunity to work on this land. Land acknowledgements should inspire us to engage intellectually with the process of reconciliation and with the issues facing the Indigenous communities on whose traditional lands we gather. They should also inspire us toward meaningful action. Today, nearly half of the 133 First Nations communities across Ontario do not have access to clean and safe drinking water. A portion of funds raised for this conference will be donated to Water First, a charitable organization whose mission is to help address the water challenges in First Nations communities through education, training, and meaningful collaboration. waterfirst.ngo friday, November 1st, 2019 york university schulich school of business 9:00 - 9:45AM BREAKFAST AND REGISTRATION 9:45-10:00AM OPENING REMARKS CLASSROOM X106 Thabit Abdullah York University, History Department Chair 10:00-11:45AM MICROHISTORY IN THE 21ST CENTURY PART 1 CLASSROOM X106 Chair: Rachel Koopmans, York University Filippo de Vivo, Birbeck, University of London Archival Stories in Early Modern Italy Claire Judde de Larivière, Université de Toulouse Speech and Action in Renaissance Venice: Stories from the Avogaria di Comune Bernard D.

  • A Poisoned Past: the Life and Times of Margarida De Portu, a Fourteenth-Century Accused Poisoner Pdf, Epub, Ebook
    A POISONED PAST: THE LIFE AND TIMES OF MARGARIDA DE PORTU, A FOURTEENTH-CENTURY ACCUSED POISONER PDF, EPUB, EBOOK Steven Bednarski | 224 pages | 29 Apr 2014 | University of Toronto Press | 9781442604773 | English | Toronto, Canada Bosnian Croat war criminal dies after taking poison in UN courtroom | Law | The Guardian Add to cart. About this product Product Information This is the story of Margarida de Portu, a fourteenth-century French medieval woman accused of poisoning her husband to death. Additional Product Features Dewey Edition. On Microhistory and Pedagogy 2. A Poisoned Past 3. The Notary's Inheritance 4. With A Poisoned Past , Bednarski has written a book that is engaging, entertaining, and learned. His study is geared more toward the advanced undergraduate student or beginning graduate student of medieval history, but novice and established scholars who work in the field of late medieval legal and social history and, to a lesser degree, medieval science, medicine, and magic, will find useful material between its covers. It would also serve quite well for graduate seminars focusing on microhistories, the intersection of gender and legal culture, and late medieval history writ large. Bednarski has also produced a book that is perfect for the classroom, the graduate seminar, and for anyone interested in how historians work. He has written a solid study and scholars and teachers who adopt his book for their own research and classes will find the life of Margarida de Portu to be valuable. For both the high quality of Bednarski's scholarship and his unwavering dedication to transparency and pedagogy, this book needs to be read far and wide.
