Robert de Vere, Earl of Oxford and Duke of Ireland (1362–1392): The Rise and Fall of a Royal Favourite , by James Ross
Health information behavior of newcomers to Quebec (Canada) in a transnational and pandemic context
Arriving in a new country involves many challenges and adaptations, especially in the midst of a health crisis like the COVID-19 pandemic. How people have sought out, consumed, and acted on health information of all sorts has been an important part of research on the social dynamic of the pandemic response. Information flows may be particularly complex for newcomers whose experience, language and cultural backgrounds are different from those of t…
Supporting the development of Inuit children in urban environments: What are the needs of Inuit families living in southern Québec
The study highlighted that the needs of Inuit families extend well beyond support for skills acquisition in the various developmental domains. Supporting the healthy development of Inuit children therefore requires a coherent and intensive response to families' most urgent needs. In the light of such findings, there is a clear need to improve access to existing resources, as well as to develop Inuit-led services that are adapted to realities and …
Ruth Mazo Karras, Thou Art the Man. The Masculinity of David in the Christian and Jewish Middle Ages
La Chronica universalis du théologien et chroniqueur anglais Raoul le Noir, composée à la fin du xiie siècle, incorpore un étonnant récit de la conquête islamique du royaume wisigothique de Tolède au début du viiie siècle. Le passage, constituant une digression à l’expédition d’Espagne de Charlemagne en 778, s’inspire de thèmes considérés jusqu’ici comme exclusifs à la dialectique de perte et de récupération de l’Espagne propre à la tradition his…
Ruth Mazo Karras, Thou Art the Man. The Masculinity of David in the Christian and Jewish Middle Ages
Tout historien et toute historienne voulant étudier la masculinité ou les masculinités au Moyen Âge doit d’abord négocier non seulement la multiplicité des approches contemporaines, mais également la complexité des catégories médiévales. Il ne s’agit pas simplement d’identifier le contenu différent d’une catégorie partagée – ce que les médiévaux auraient associé à la masculinité –, puisque ces derniers abordent rarement les choses de cette manièr…
Baldson Fellowship: Weapons of hell: guns and society in early modern Italy
Having held a Rome Fellowship in 2009-10, I was very pleased to return to the BSR for the autumn term 2023 in Rome as Balsdon Fellow, working on 'Weapons of Hell: Guns and Society in Early Modern Italy'.This research project explores the impact of firearms in the first century during which they became a widely-used technology.Beginning with the context of the Italian Wars of 1494 to 1559, it investigates the development of an arms industry in the…
The Qanuilirpitaa? 2017 Nunavik Health Survey: Design, methods, and lessons learned
Information from this survey is being used to update health services and programs in the region and for the development of health policies and public health interventions to tackle key health-related issues faced by Nunavimmiut. Drawing lessons from challenges and successes encountered in Qanuilirpitaa? 2017, this survey paved the way to the upcoming Inuit-led Qanuippitaa? National Inuit Health Survey to be conducted every 5 years throughout Inui…
Cultural safety involves new professional roles: A rapid review of interventions in Australia, the United States, Canada and New Zealand
Cultural safety is a decolonizing and transformative approach to health care aimed at achieving health care that recognizes, respects and nurtures the needs, rights and identities of Indigenous peoples. Such a transformation requires new or radically reimagined professional roles. Based on a rapid review design, this synthesis aimed to identify fundamental characteristics of cultural safety interventions that involved the creation or transformati…
The Jacquerie of 1358: A French Peasants’ Revolt
Tra spezie e spie: Filippo Pigafetta nel Mediterraneo del Cinquecento
Savio's study of an intriguing career in informal diplomacy opens with Giovanni Botero's description of 'ambassadors, spies, merchants and soldiers', whose travels between states allowed them to gather information of considerable use in government.Born in Vicenza in 1533, Filippo Pigafetta was a descendant of the famous circumnavigator Antonio Pigafetta, but was excluded from the Venetian patriciate on grounds of his illegitimacy.Between 1576
Sociocultural determinants of alcohol and cannabis use and misuse among Nunavimmiut
Key determinants of substance use relevant to Inuit culture were identified. Results are in line with our Inuit partners' experience in their communities and are coherent with current land-based interventions implemented in Nunavik. A thorough understanding of substance use contexts and related stressors should guide the content and implementation of substance use programs in Nunavik
Profiles of childhood adversities in Inuit from Nunavik: Description and associations with indicators of socioeconomic characteristics, support, and community involvement
Childhood adversities among Nunavimmiut do not occur in isolation and experiencing multiple forms of childhood adversities predicts lower socioeconomic status, support, and community involvement in adulthood. Implications for the planning of health and community services in Nunavik are discussed
Firearms and the State in Sixteenth-Century Italy: Gun Proliferation and Gun Control
Small firearms proliferated on the Italian peninsula in the context of the Italian Wars of 1494-1559. States were faced with significant challenges in managing this new technology. On the one hand, guns swiftly became important to civic defence. On the other, they raised serious concerns about social order. Archive material from Bologna, Brescia, Florence, Modena and Rome illustrates the routes through which firearms proliferated and sometimes we…
Gardez le vaccin au Sud: Mieux comprendre l’hésitation à la vaccination contre la Covid‐19 au Nunavik
La pandémie de la COVID-19 a mis en évidence l'importance de la vaccination pour prévenir des maladies infectieuses, mais également les enjeux liés à l'acceptation des vaccins par les individus et groupes ciblés par les programmes. Le concept d'hésitation à la vaccination est désormais couramment utilisé en santé publique pour référer au fait qu'une partie de la population entretient des craintes importantes par rapport à la vaccination ; crainte…
Perspectives on “Community” with Inuit Living in Southern Quebec
What is a community? This seemingly simple question emerged at the outset of the Qanuikkat Siqinirmiut? (QS) research project on Inuit health in southern Quebec, led in partnership with the Southern Quebec Inuit Association. The question finds its salience in the rapid growth of a southern Inuit population in cities across Canada, a population that has distinct and significant health needs. After early qualitative research, we came to doubt wheth…
Climate change and Indigenous mental health in the Circumpolar North: A systematic review to inform clinical practice
Climate change is disproportionally impacting the Circumpolar North, with particular impacts among Indigenous populations. Environmental changes are felt in many aspects of daily life of Northern communities, including both physical and mental health. Thus, health institutions from around the Arctic must meet emerging needs, while the phenomenon remains marginal to their southern counterparts. In this systematic review, we aimed to review current…
Mercenaries, Migration and the Crew of the Mary Rose
This article reconsiders the presence of foreigners in the crew of Henry VIII's ship the Mary Rose in light of recent archaeological investigations of human remains from the wreck. Through an interdisciplinary analysis drawing on archaeological investigation, the artefacts found on board the Mary Rose and historical documents, this study investigates the context for the presence of foreigners on board the ship, considering how and why these men c…
Epistemic inclusion in the Qanuilirpitaa? Nunavik Inuit health survey: Developing an Inuit model and determinants of health and well-being
The development of the culturally grounded health models and determinants is an exercise of epistemic inclusivity through which researchers and Indigenous communities may form new and equitable paths of knowledge creation
Culturally and contextually adaptive indicators of organizational success: Nunavik, Quebec
This data-driven framework suggests that the measures of success that are frequently used by funding agencies (e.g., number of people reached, number of activities) may not fully represent the potential of local services in a given community. Indeed, services may be creating job opportunities for Inuit, instilling pride, offering cultural opportunities, and increasing capital (human, economic, health) within the community, all of which are equall…
Sociocultural factors in relation to mental health within the Inuit population of Nunavik
Although limited by their cross-sectional character, these analyses, based on the community component of the Qanuilirpitaa?, suggest that strengthening of family and community cohesion, and support of regular hunting and fishing deserve further attention as potential cumulative preventive avenues for Inuit mental health
The psychosocial dimension of housing in Nunavik: Does social support vary with household crowding
Overcrowding is associated with lower levels of perceived social support, which is a key component of health for the general population and for Nunavimmiut. Future research should examine the factors creating stronger associations between overcrowding and lower social support for men and older adults
Youth perspectives on community health in Nunavik: A community-engaged photovoice project
Findings from this study serve to confirm and strengthen existing models of Inuit health while also raising fresh perspectives and concepts relevant to the younger generation. Images and words of the youth identified in this study may be important in designing effective health promotion strategies that are accessible and relevant to younger generations, thus responding to an important research, programmatic and policy gap
Cultural Safety as an Outcome of a Dynamic Relational Process: The Experience of Inuit in a Mainstream Residential Addiction Rehabilitation Centre in Southern Canada
Few addiction treatment options are available in Arctic Canada, leading many Inuit to seek treatment programs in southern cities. We conducted a case study to understand what contributes to a culturally safe experience for Inuit in a mainstream addiction rehabilitation centre in Southern Canada. We carried out more than 700 hours of participant observation, in addition to semi-structured interviews and member-checking activities with 20 Inuit res…

After discussing in detail the evidence of gender discrimination in UK higher education and the changes in the academic labour process consequent to the incorporation of universities, at least at the policy level, into the ‘know…
Relocating to a new or pre-existing social housing unit: Significant health improvements for Inuit adults in Nunavik and Nunavut
Epistemic inclusion in the Qanuilirpitaa? Nunavik Inuit health survey: Developing an Inuit model and determinants of health and well-being
The development of the culturally grounded health models and determinants is an exercise of epistemic inclusivity through which researchers and Indigenous communities may form new and equitable paths of knowledge creation
Overcrowding and sense of home in the Canadian Arctic
This study examines the relationship between living in overcrowded conditions and sense of home among 289 Inuit, the Indigenous population living in the Canadian Arctic. This study was conducted in Nunavut and Nunavik, two of the four Inuit regions in Canada, where the prevalence of overcrowding is six times the national average. Sense of home was derived from the conceptual notion of ontological security, where home is defined as a symbolic plac…

Formation continue à la française et système de laissez-faire britannique: Quelles chances pour les femmes
Le système de formation continue en Grande-Bretagne, défini ici comme « laissez-faire corporatiste » est comparé au système français. L'objectif est d'examiner la situation de la femme dans les deux pays, en utilisant l'approche sociétale pour souligner les similitudes et les différences. Les données quantitatives en matière d'égalité des chances des femmes dans la formation révèlent une légère amélioration ; cependant, les données qualitatives s…
Social housing construction and improvements in housing outcomes for Inuit in Northern Canada
One-third of Inuit households in the Canadian Arctic are in core housing need-three times the national average. In 2014–2015, over 400 social housing units were constructed in Nunavik and Nunavut, two of the four Inuit land claims regions in Canada. This article examines whether rehousing, following this large-scale construction commitment, is associated with significant improvements in housing outcomes. People on the waiting list for social hous…

News, Noise, and the Nature of Politics in Late Medieval English Provincial Towns
Recent research has stressed the importance of “popular politics” in English political culture especially after the Peasants' Revolt and during the political disturbances of the fifteenth century. Scholars have begun to explore how the structures of local political culture could inflect the nature of politics on a national level, notably through petitioning and the circulation of open letters and manifestos, thus moving beyond the nobility and ge…
Reflections on the intercultural politics of food, diet, and nutrition research in Canadian Inuit communities
This essay explores the intercultural dynamics of food and health research in Inuit communities over time. Multiple sources of information are used to explore Inuit subjectivity in research through different ways of conceptualizing and acting on food-related practice and knowledge. How people experience being the subject of research, how that research mobilizes knowledge and resources, and how these in turn feed back into the larger social field …

Manhood and Politics in the Reign of Richard II
Amongst English kings Richard II enjoys, with the dishonourable exception of Edward II, perhaps the most unmanly reputation of the later Middle Ages. He is habitually associated with an elaborate delight in clothing and courtly culture, sometimes contrasted with the martial ‘masculinity’ of earlier kings.1 His allegedly unusual concern with ceremonial is seen as the support of ‘absolutist’ ideas,2 and as one aspect of a Francophile and peace-lovi…

À la recherche des rythmes sonores d'un square menacé de Montréal
Enregistrer de façon expérimentale des sons dans un square central montréalais très peu fréquenté nous a conduits à l'analyse de la matérialité du son et de l'enregistrement de l'audible en zone urbaine. Le square Viger a été construit dans les années 1980 au-dessus d'une autoroute est-ouest reliant le Quartier latin et le Vieux-Montréal. Jamais réellement terminé, le square, aujourd'hui mal entretenu, est un parc urbain délabré et abandonné que …
Furnished with gentlemen’: The ambassador's house in sixteenth-century Italy
This article responds to recent calls for a ‘new diplomatic history’ of early modern Europe with an investigation of an important subset of Renaissance diplomatic practices: those related to the house, household and hospitality. It considers the prescriptive sources, including treatises on the office of ambassador by Ermolao Barbaro and Étienne Dolet, in light of the practice of a small number of diplomats active in the 1520s and 30s, in particul…
Environmental Sensitivity: Equivocal Illness in the Context of Place
This article presents a phenomenologically oriented description of the interaction of illness experience, social context, and place. This is used to explore an outbreak of environmental sensitivities in Nova Scotia, Canada. Environmental Sensitivity (ES) is a popular designation for bodily reactions to mundane environmental stimuli that are insignificant for most people. Mainstream medicine cannot support the popular models of this disease proces…

Outre‐Manche/Across the Channel: Ongoing Training and Gender in France and Britain
The French state‐levy system of ongoing training at work has not provided greater access for women than the laissez‐faire British system. While headlines figures suggest that women receive more training than men in Britain and that the gap has also closed for well‐qualified women in France, qualitative analysis shows that this does not indicate greater gender equity. The societal effect approach is useful for cross‐national comparison within the …
Il Reste des Bastille à Prendre’: Gender and Equal Opportunities in France
While the political parity law in France has had some effect at lower levels of the political system, women are still poorly represented further up the hierarchy. Similar levels of gendered vertical segregation exist in the workplace despite the introduction of the Génisson law, which aims to increase professional equality in France. This article argues that legislation has thus far remained linked to the restricted notion of equality espoused by…
What is Sexual Harassment? From Capitol Hill to the Sorbonne

This concise book provides a lucid analysis of the framing of sexual harassment in France and the United States within the legal, historical, political and cultural contexts of each country. The main argument of the book is that, in both countries, the notion of sexual harassment as social concept, body of…

Virtue and the Common Good: Moral Discourse and Political Practice in the Good Parliament, 1376
This volume of essays concentrates on the effects of preaching in late medieval and early modern Europe, particularly through the concept of charisma, a term introduced into the discussion of religion and politics by Max Weber. Used by Weber, the term indicates the power of a person to move others to action, to animate and mobilize them. The late medieval and early modern periods witnessed the emergence of preachers who became powerful public fig…

War, Diplomacy and Social Mobility: The Casali Family in the Service of Henry VIII
By employing Gregorio Casali as his permanent representative at the curia from 1525, King Henry VIII of England acquired a diplomatic structure not uncommon in sixteenth-century Europe: the family consortium. This article illustrates the functioning of that structure, presenting new evidence relating to Casali’s background and career, and assessing both the benefits that accrued to the English crown as a consequence of his employment, and the adv…

Medieval Intrigue: Decoding Royal Conspiracies, by Ian Mortimer
There are several books trying to get out of this collection of essays, some of which are more successful than others. The framework which the author would like to impose is a theoretical one: a revolutionary new historical method based on ‘information streams’, ‘objective inconsistencies’ and a ‘biographical’ approach. In practice, though, this perspective is overshadowed by a second one: that of reasserting and building upon his earlier work, i…
