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.

"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 91ĹÝܽ’s Research Centre for Scottish Studies (RCSS) and the University of Guelph’s Centre for Scottish Studies (CSS), “Networking Jacobites” 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 91ĹÝÜ˝ (SFU) 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 “Networking Jacobites” symposium will constitute a new scholarly network representing innovative approaches to Jacobitism, develop new research trajectories and mobilize our research.
