FORUM PROGRAM Military & Veteran Health Research Recherche sur la santé des militaires et vétérans FORUM 2012 November 26–28 Kingston, Ontario THE GOVERNOR GENERal · LE GOUVERNEUR GÉNÉRAL It gives me great pleasure to extend greetings to everyone attending the 3rd annual Military and Veteran Health Research Forum, hosted by the Canadian Institute for Military and Veteran Health Research (CIMVHR). As commander-in-chief of Canada, I have been privileged to meet with so many members of the Canadian Forces, who have proudly given of their talents to serve our nation. I have also had the honour of speaking with veterans, who have given so much for Canada, and was deeply moved by their stories. I will never forget my conversations with the families of the fallen, moments that are forever etched in my memory. Fortunately, there are organizations like CIMVHR that make every effort to assist military personnel, veterans and their families grappling with the challenges of life in uniform. Over the next few days, you will examine their daily realities, their often complex needs, and the long-term effects of military service. In the end, you will be able to provide the best possible programs and services to support the extended Canadian Forces family. I applaud this initiative, which serves to pay tribute to the men and women who are so fully engaged in defending the ideals we hold dear. May this forum prove most productive and enriching. David Johnston November 2012 ii THE GOVERNOR GENERal · LE GOUVERNEUR GÉNÉRAL Je suis ravi de saluer tous ceux qui prennent part au 3e forum annuel de recherche sur la santé des militaires et vétérans canadiens organisé par l’Institut canadien de recherche sur la santé des militaires et des vétérans (ICRSMV). À titre de commandant en chef du Canada, j’ai eu le privilège de rencontrer une multitude de membres des Forces canadiennes qui investissent fièrement leurs talents afin de servir la nation. J’ai également eu l’honneur de m’entretenir avec d’anciens combattants qui ont tellement donné pour le Canada. J’ai été profondément touché par leurs témoignages. Je n’oublierai jamais mes rencontres avec les familles des soldats tombés au front, ces moments demeureront gravés dans ma mémoire. Heureusement, il existe des organismes comme l’ICRSMV qui mettent tout en œuvre afin d’assister les soldats, les vétérans et leurs proches aux prises avec les défis de la vie en uniforme. Au cours des prochains jours, vous vous pencherez sur leur quotidien, sur leurs besoins souvent complexes et sur les effets à long terme du service militaire. Ainsi, vous serez en mesure de fournir les meilleurs programmes et services possibles en vue d’appuyer la grande famille des Forces canadiennes. Je tiens à applaudir cette initiative qui contribue à rendre hommage à celles et ceux qui se sont engagés entièrement à défendre les idéaux qui nous sont chers. Je vous souhaite un forum fructueux et des plus enrichissants. David Johnston Novembre 2012 iii Esteemed Delegates, Welcome, and thank you for joining us and over 450 other Canadian researchers, clinicians, military personnel, veterans, industry stakeholders, government representatives and international delegates at the 3rd annual Military and Veteran Health Research Forum (MVHR Forum 2012). Over the next two days, you will hear from over 100 researchers studying physical, mental, occupational and social health as well as rehabilitation, transitioning from military life, family health issues and combat casualty care. The Forum is a gathering of our best researchers and is the preeminent opportunity to exchange new knowledge, to learn from each other, to network and to foster new collaborations that will improve the health and well-being of our Canadian military personnel, veterans and their families. Like you, the CIMVHR team is eager to try new ways to support Canadian military health research. We hope you will enjoy our new paperless book: A Coalition for a New Battlefield: Military and Veteran Health Research, which will be given to each delegate on a USB key. This collection of some of the MVHR Forum 2011 presentations and posters can also be downloaded from our CIMVHR website. Finally, plans for next year’s Forum are already underway. As a truly pan-Canadian institute, we will be hosting MVHR Forum 2013, with the help of the University of Alberta, in the great city of Edmonton. After three years of “sold out” Forums we encourage you to register early and join us again next year to learn, collaborate and network at the Military and Veteran Health Research Forum. Sincerely, Dr. Alice Aiken Dr. Stéphanie Bélanger Director Associate Director CIMVHR CIMVHR iv Chers et chères délégué(e)s, Au nom de toute l’équipe ICRSMV, un grand merci de vous joindre à nous et à plus de 450 chercheurs canadiens, cliniciens, militaires, vétérans, intervenants, représentants gouvernementaux et délégués internationaux pour notre 3e Forum annuel en recherche sur la santé des militaires et des vétérans (Forum RSMV 2012). Au cours des deux prochains jours, vous aurez l’occasion d’écouter plus d’une centaine de chercheurs en santé physique, mentale, professionnelle et sociale ainsi que plusieurs professionnels en réadaptation, en transition de la vie militaire, en santé familiale et en soins des blessés au combat. Ce Forum rassemble nos meilleurs chercheurs et vous offre l’occasion d’échanger de nouvelles connaissances, d’apprendre les uns des autres, de réseauter et de créer de nouvelles ententes qui permettront d’améliorer la santé et le bien- être de nos militaires canadiens, de nos vétérans et de leurs familles. Comme vous, l’équipe CIMVHR est impatiente d’explorer de nouvelles façons de soutenir la recherche canadienne sur la santé des militaires. Nous espérons que notre nouveau livre sans papier: A New Coalition for a Challenging Battlefield: Military and Veteran Health Research, qui sera remis à chaque participant sur une clé USB, vous sera utile.

    “NO ROOM IN HISTORY”: GENRE AND IDENTIY IN BRITISH AND IRISH NATIONAL HISTORIES, 1541-1691 A dissertation presented by Sarah Elizabeth Connell to The Department of English In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the field of English Northeastern University Boston, Massachusetts April 2014 1 “NO ROOM IN HISTORY”: GENRE AND IDENTIY IN BRITISH AND IRISH NATIONAL HISTORIES, 1541-1691 by Sarah Elizabeth Connell ABSTRACT OF DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English in the College of Social Sciences and Humanities of Northeastern University April 2014 2 ABSTRACT In this project, I build on the scholarship that has challenged the historiographic revolution model to question the valorization of the early modern humanist narrative history’s sophistication and historiographic advancement in direct relation to its concerted efforts to shed the purportedly pious, credulous, and naïve materials and methods of medieval history. 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.

She went on to add: “This well-deserved grant is the result of several years of passion, sustained effort, and a peerless work ethic. We are delighted that he has been recognized in this way by the Hnatyshyn Foundation.” Admitted to l’École supérieure’s professional dance program in 2013, Étienne has distinguished himself as both a performer and a choreographer. Last year, he joined the Grands Ballets Canadiens for the Nutcracker and, this fall, for Jean-Christophe Maillot’s Romeo & Juliet.

    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.
