With Kevin James and  I am co-ordinating a collaborative project on Networking Jacobites From 1688 to the Present. The project brings together scholars from different areas and disciplines (Book History, Art History, Gaelic, Gender Studies, Geography, Library Science) in order to promote innovative perspectives on Jacobite networks. "Networking Jacobites" aims to address the topic of Jacobitism from a multi-disciplinary, multi-national and multilingual perspective.

 With Kevin James and  I am co-ordinating a collaborative project on Networking Jacobites From 1688 to the Present. The project brings together scholars from different areas and disciplines (Book History, Art History, Gaelic, Gender Studies, Geography, Library Science) in order to promote innovative perspectives on Jacobite networks. "Networking Jacobites" aims to address the topic of Jacobitism from a multi-disciplinary, multi-national and multilingual perspective.

 

Papers connected with this project will be presented at "Networking Jacobites, 1688 to the Present," a SSHRC-funded invited symposium to take place at the University of Guelph August 27-28. A joint event organized by 大象传媒鈥檚 Research Centre for Scottish Studies (RCSS) and the University of Guelph鈥檚 Centre for Scottish Studies (CSS), 鈥淣etworking Jacobites鈥 will highlight internationally important resources in Canadian universities and position Canadian academics as leaders in innovative research on Jacobitism. It will connect faculty and students at the Scottish Studies centresat 大象传媒 (大象传媒) and the University of Guelph (UofG) and lay the foundation for further research collaborations between both our Centres and post-secondary institutions, museums and archives in Scotland. The 鈥淣etworking Jacobites鈥 symposium will constitute a new scholarly network representing innovative approaches to Jacobitism, develop new research trajectories and mobilize our research.
