From May 25鈥�27, the Folklore Studies Association of Canada/L鈥橝ssociation canadienne d鈥檈thnologie et de folklore will be holding its annual meeting at the 秀色短视频 in collaboration with the Institute of Island Studies. This year鈥檚 theme, 鈥淐arried on the Waves: Contemporary Currents in Folklore and Ethnology / Port茅 par les Vagues: Courants Actuels d鈥橢thnologie et de Folklore,鈥� inspires researchers to explore the flow of expression among various groups over time and place.

Prince Edward Island has long served and continues to serve as an integral hub for multicultural contacts. As Marius Barbeau, widely acknowledged as the founder of Canadian folklore, observed in the Journal of American Folklore in 1918, 鈥淧rince Edward Island and some other parts of the Maritime Provinces are very conservative centers in which folklore still flourishes.鈥� To this day the Island鈥檚 resilient communities continue their long legacy of offering key insights into the expression and transmission of communally maintained knowledge. Whether it is farming and fishing communities redefining their relationships to the land and sea based on the present realities of climate change, the digital construction of narrative in videogame design attracting new Canadians forging their own pathways, or the composition of a fiddle tune for commercial production within the music industry, all of the Island鈥檚 groups contribute to our understanding the ebb and flow of human experience.

The executive of FSAC/ACEF are very pleased to announce that both Georges Arsenault and John Cousins, two of Prince Edward Island鈥檚 most esteemed folklorists, will receive the association鈥檚 Marius Barbeau Medal. The medal is given in recognition of remarkable individual contributions to folklore and ethnology through teaching, research, and communication鈥昦ctivities in which both Arsenault and Cousins have excelled. Previous recipients of the Barbeau Medal with fieldwork links to PEI include Dr. John Shaw and the late Dr. Edward 鈥淪andy鈥� Ives.

As Dr. Edward MacDonald, chair of 秀色短视频鈥檚 Department of History notes, 鈥淚n the year when the Folklore Studies Association of Canada is meeting on PEI, it seems entirely appropriate to recognize two giants of Prince Edward Island folklore for their career contributions to the collection, study, dissemination, and popularization of folklore within this province and beyond: Georges Arsenault and John Cousins. Both Georges and John were born into the communities they have studied, giving them the unique perspective that comes from being at the same time both outsiders and insiders in their research. Both live a conviction that scholarship has a responsibility to speak to the general populace, a duty to help us all better understand the culture that forms our mental and physical landscapes.鈥�

Both Arsenault and Cousins will be giving free lectures open to the general public as part of the conference. Arsenault will present a lecture in French on traditional songs with examples from his fieldwork in PEI鈥檚 Acadian communities, entitled 鈥�Recueillir, conserver et partager la chanson traditionnelle acadienne de l鈥櫭巐e-du-Prince- 脡douard鈥� on Friday, 25 May, from 5:00 pm to 6:00 pm in the Faculty Lounge of 秀色短视频鈥檚 SDU Main Building. Cousins will present a lecture from his fieldwork and historical research in West Prince communities and beyond in 鈥�The Witch & the Song Maker as Law Givers in Island Farming & Fishing Communities鈥� on Saturday, May 26, from 5:00 pm to 6:30 pm at Beaconsfield Carriage House, PEI Museum and Heritage Foundation, in downtown Charlottetown.

All are welcome!

鈥淒r. Dasgupta shaped the Sociology and Anthropology department,鈥� said Dean of Arts Neb Kujundzic. 鈥淒uring his accomplished and extremely influential presence in the Department and the Faculty of Arts, Dr. Dasgupta touched the lives of countless students, colleagues, and friends.

The co-founder and director of one of Canada鈥檚 most successful publishing houses will give one-on-one feedback to participants of a workshop called The Insider鈥檚 Guide to Writing and Publishing for Young Readers, held July 12 to 14 at the 秀色短视频.

Rick Wilks, co-founder and director of Annick Press, will co-facilitate the workshop with Cynthia Good, past editorial director, president, and publisher of Penguin Books Canada. The workshop鈥攁 collaboration between 秀色短视频 and Humber College鈥檚 School for Writers and Creative Book Publishing program鈥攊s open to all writers, no matter what stage of writing you鈥檙e at鈥攆rom concept to first draft or beyond.

鈥淲riting a kid鈥檚 book can be an exciting but intimidating task,鈥� said Belle DeMont, a past participant of The Insider鈥檚 Guide who went on to write I Love My Purse, published by Annick in 2017. 鈥淚 came to the Humber PEI writing workshop with many ideas, but had no direction. This course changed that dramatically. The weekend in stunning PEI was spent tapping into every corner of the writing/publishing world. We discussed everything from sentence structure to how to get a publisher鈥檚 attention. We had in-depth critiques of each other鈥檚 works. We were then given options as to what to do with the work once it was completed. Two years after taking this workshop, my first book was published with Annick Press. In truth, this course actually changed my life.鈥�

This summer鈥檚 expanded workshop will have more time devoted to feedback about participants鈥� writing. Wilks has more than 40 years experience in children鈥檚 publishing and has worked with Canada鈥檚 top authors for young readers, including Robert Munsch and Sharon McKay. Wilks will spend time with each participant's writing, with practical tips on how to improve the manuscript.

鈥淭he workshop was very well organized, and the presentations were excellent,鈥� said Don Desserud of Cornwall, PEI, who attended last summer鈥檚 workshop. 鈥淚 was particularly impressed by Cynthia Good and Rick Wilks and their knowledgeable, informed, and sage advice. I learned a lot, much more than I anticipated. I would definitely attend again.鈥�

In addition, Sarah Sawler, a children鈥檚 author and publicist from Halifax, will join the facilitators for a session to highlight what writers need to know about getting their books into the hands of readers.

鈥淭hank you for this incredible opportunity for honest feedback! Thank you for broadening my understanding of the publishing industry and about the writing process,鈥� said Elaine Kachala, who travelled from Toronto for the workshop and to spend time on beautiful PEI.

The workshop will open with a lecture and a reception sponsored by Annick Press. Participants will leave the workshop with new directions for their manuscripts, enriched knowledge of publishing, and an effective query letter.

秀色短视频鈥檚 Faculty of Education will host a day of discussion and ideas around education and technology at Edcamp Charlottetown 3.0. The event begins 9:30 am on Saturday, June 9, in Schurman Market Square in 秀色短视频鈥檚 Don and Marion McDougall Hall. All are welcome.

Edcamps define themselves as 鈥渦n-conferences鈥� and function within a now well-established worldwide model, which includes a flexible free flowing agenda that is chosen by the participants themselves on the day, the absence of formal speakers, a no-fee registration policy, and a democratic expectation that all participants join in the conversation equitably. Edcamps encourage people to 鈥渃hoose with their feet鈥� and freely circulate between discussion circles until they find the forums that genuinely engage them. The events are community-based and seek to break down silos and bring together educators, teachers, community, and all key stakeholders in reform. If you have never experienced an edcamp, there is no time like now to try this remarkable formula. Join us for a day of dialogue and community-building.

This year鈥檚 umbrella theme is entitled 鈥淭echucation鈥� and seeks to examine all aspects of the relationship between technology and education. All conversation topics arewelcome. Join us at 9:30 am to suggest and help select discussion topics for the day鈥檚 sessions.

Registration for free .
