Montr茅al Lecture Series

Au c艙ur de Griffintown : l鈥檌nclusion territoriale du projet MR-63 - Lecture by听Jonathan Durand Folco, Emanuel Guay and F茅lix Beauchemin

This lecture (in French) presents the project in Griffintown, exploring its role in territorial inclusion and its social impact. Following a presentation of the MR-63 organization (origins, mission and partnership with CIRM), the researchers provide a brief socio-demographic analysis of Griffintown, highlighting the challenges of gentrification and strategies to mitigate urban exclusion. Next, the researchers address residents' concerns, including the lack of accessible public spaces and the need for social engagement on the part of MR-63. Several recommendations are proposed, such as making spaces accessible to residents, supporting community initiatives and developing democratic governance for MR-63. In conclusion, MR-63 is called upon to play an active role in improving the neighborhood, beyond a mere cultural space, by promoting citizen participation and equitable urban development.

Langues et identit茅s des communaut茅s italienne et portugaise de Montr茅al - Lecture by听Fabio Scetti

Montr茅al's Italian and Portuguese communities are veritable pieces of the Qu茅bec metropolis' urban puzzle. The foundation of these two communities played an important role during the Quiet Revolution in terms of linguistic integration, particularly following Bill 101 and the schooling of migrant children. Fabio's research was carried out between 2011 and 2024, with the collection of a varied sociolinguistic corpus - made up of ethnographic observations and interviews. During the analysis, he was able to question the notion of identity and study the influence of language practices as identity markers, as well as the discourses that circulate within the two communities. This lecture is in French.

CIRM Promenade: guided tour of Montreal monuments with Louis Kelly

Louis Kelly, doctoral student at the University of Amsterdam and researcher on memory, presents this short guided tour of Montreal monuments and their role in the construction of public memory. Louis spent the summer of 2023 in Montreal, conducting his fieldwork under the supervision of Mary Anne Poutanen, CIRM member and co-director of the "Immigration, everyday life, and religion" axis. He observed and questioned passers-by around the Macdonald, Maisonneuve and Vauquelin monuments, which he talks about here (in addition to other monuments along the way).

The video is in English, with subtitles available.

Louis has a few words to say: "When I started my PhD at the University of Amsterdam, my supervisors advised me to get in touch with the academic community in Montreal and find "boots on the ground" who could help me. It seemed obvious then, and still is today, that Dr. Poutanen, Dr. Gervais and the rest of CRIEM would help me in this task. After a summer spent in their offices during my fieldwork, I'm grateful for the support received and happy to share this "virtual tour" to show you my research and its importance to the study of Montreal's public memory."
