Soixante-trois ans de confe虂rences philosophiques (1933-1995) : pilote d鈥檈xtraction de corpus et d鈥檌ndexation analytique par forage textuel des Annales de l鈥橝CFAS
Project Description
The project has two objectives: 1) to produce a computable corpus of abstracts of lectures given at ACFAS conferences under the Philosophy section during the first sixty-three conferences of the association, from 1933 to 1995, and published in the Annals of the association; 2) to test a method of analytical indexing by text mining of the lectures. These 800 philosophical conferences provide a snapshot of the research interests, notably the philosophy of cognition, of those who study philosophy in Qu茅bec. The work consists in opening the archive, freeing it from the shackles of the original editing format (unediting), preparing it for computational text analysis. Structured, indexed, accompanied by analytical metadata, and disseminated in the form of a database, the corpus obtained will be immediately computable. (Source: )

Constructing participatory performance: the ecologies and architectures of audience engagement
Project Description
This聽project聽aims聽to explore audience engagement and interaction in聽the context of聽immersive theatre and performance events.聽Lorna Heaton and Natalie聽Doonan聽suggest鈥痶hat contemporary theatre and performance arts offer a laboratory for engaging audiences with technologies and each other in a quick and iterative鈥痺ay. They further聽posit that the intensification of experience聽allowed by聽this type of situation may generate insights of broader social relevance, such as how emergent, collective action is produced.聽It offers insights to reimagine participation in a more reflexive way.聽This project thus proposes the聽spectatorial聽encounter聽as聽a valuable site for theorising the intersection聽of聽aesthetics, politics, epistemologies,聽and technologies.鈥�

L'impact du climat interculturel des 茅tablissements sur la r茅ussite 茅ducative des 茅l猫ves issus de l'immigration
Project Description
In this research project, Isabelle Archambault, Marie McAndrew, and their collaborators aim to evaluate how the school climate influences the school experience of students with an immigrant background. More specifically, they are interested in the perception of this climate by students and the various school actors (principals, staff members, community organizations, parents), and how this perception influences student engagement and performance. They also examine variables such as generational status. This research highlights the need for more inclusive practices in educational settings to improve the social and educational experience of immigrant students and support their success.

Public Houses and Hidden Networks of Sociability in Mid-19th-Century Montreal
Project Description
Conducted by Mary Anne Poutanen in collaboration with聽Sherry Olson,聽the project聽Public Houses and Hidden Networks of Sociability in Mid-19th-Century Montreal聽focuses on the networks of sociability of women who operated public houses 鈥� from the modest corner tavern to the top-of-the-line hotel 鈥� between 1840 and 1860, a period of political and social upheaval. The fine capillaries of communication and exchange were critical to relations of trust in which trade, social behaviour, and politics were grounded. Poutanen鈥檚 analysis of their marriages and residential moves will uncover half-hidden strategies that families employed in time of need and disclose networks of collaboration, and, among their children, a net upward social mobility. Olson鈥檚 contribution centres on methods for making 鈥渧isible鈥澛爐hese social networks and evaluating the interdependence of households.听(Reference: Mary Anne Poutanen)

TRYSPACES: Transformative Youth Spaces
Project Description
We live in an interconnected world where urban modes of action and interaction dominate. This dominant urbanity generates a worldview different from that which marked the twentieth century, characterized by the power of nation-states. Young people are at the forefront of these cultural, social, economic and political transformations. They are more and more visible in public spaces because their practices distort, disturb and push the limits imposed by social norms.聽TRYSPACES explores the relationship between the presence of young people in public spaces and the way they experience this visibility. This research聽team brings together聽interdisciplinary researchers and students, multimedia artists, youth workers, urban professionals and youth from Mexico City, Montreal, Paris and Hanoi. TRYSPACES聽has an inclusive vision of research and contribute, through the funding of students, to supporting a plural academic community.听()

脡crire l'histoire des savoirs urbains / Histories of Urban Knowledge
Project Description
The bilingual conference聽脡crire l'histoire des savoirs urbains聽: Montr茅al, Qu茅bec, Canada et au-del脿 (19e-20e si猫cles) / Histories of Urban Knowledge: Montr茅al, Qu茅bec, Canada and Beyond, 19th-20th Centuries took place on September 27 and 28, 2019 at the Universit茅 de Montr茅al. The event brought together researchers from different backgrounds聽but with a common interest in how to understand the complex and changing entities that are cities and urban societies. More than twenty speakers discussed issues ranging from the most 鈥渃lassical鈥澛爁orms of urban knowledge 鈥斅爐he expertise of urban planners, for example 鈥斅爐o its more informal declinations 鈥斅爏uch as the memories of immigrants who have had to familiarize themselves with new urban environments. We have seen, in particular, that knowing the city means being able to act on it, its environment and its inhabitants. The keynote address was presented by Professor Steven High of Concordia University, under the title The Place of Urban Knowledge in Wider Deindustrialization and Gentrification Processes in Montreal's Sud-Ouest. .听()听

Se faire une place dans la cit茅聽: la participation des groupes religieux 脿 la vie urbaine
Project Description
Se faire une place dans la cit茅聽: la participation des groupes religieux 脿 la vie urbaine is an international workshop held in October 2019. These two days of meetings and discussions brought together researchers (from Canada, France, and the Netherlands) and practitioners from the City of Montreal. One of the objectives of the workshop was to gather in the same event different yet complementary expertises: that of practitioners and that of researchers. The City of Montreal and the Fonds de recherche du Qu茅bec (FRQ) were partners in this project. The workshop will be the subject of a collective book in the Mati猫re 脿 pens茅e series published by the Presses de l'Universit茅 de Montr茅al.听(Reference: Fr茅d茅ric Dejean).

The 2018 Canadian Municipal Election Study Conference聽: Montreal and Quebec in Focus
Project Description
The purpose of this conference held on June 19, 2018 at 黑料不打烊 University was to fundamentally transform our understanding of municipal elections and voting behaviour in Quebec. To date, Toronto and Vancouver are the only Canadian cities to have been subjected to individual-level election studies. An examination of Quebec elections is of particular interest given the unique nature of politics and municipal government in that province (such as party systems, ballot structures, linguistic diversity and nationalism). The body of work produced by this conference represents immediate and substantial progress in the study of Quebec (and Canadian) municipal elections. We seeked to create a collaborative, inclusive environment where scholars from across the country presented and discussed their research findings about the 2017 elections in Montreal and Quebec. Conference proceedings will be based upon data collected by the , including individual level survey data from nearly 4,000 electors in our two cities, media content, and a database of information about candidates. The work presented represent the most substantial and comprehensive analysis of local elections ever undertaken in Quebec. (Reference: 脡ric B茅langer)
