Morrin In Verse: Reading Poetry Workshop
Nov 17 @ 5:00 PM – 7:00 PM

Join us for another instalment of our Reading Poetry workshops! We’ll answer two simple questions: What are poems made of, and what can they do?

The image you uploaded promotes a Reading Poetry Workshop organized by Morrin. The design features a roller coaster track, symbolizing the ups and downs of reading poetry, with scattered letters forming parts of the word "POETRY" floating around the roller coaster. The graphic has a minimalistic aesthetic with white lines on a grey background, accented with a red square containing the "Morrin" logo.

This workshop aims to give you the tools and vocabulary with which to discuss, think about, and, above all, appreciate poetry.

You can attend the workshop in person or online. Please email library@morrin.org to learn more or to sign up!

Historian Mairi Cowan will explore how a single marginal note reveals connections between seventeenth-century Quebec, the Scottish Reformation, and early modern spiritual geopolitics. Explore themes of identity, social status in exile, and the complexities of Tudor succession, offering insights into New France and the Scottish diaspora.

About the Speaker:
Mairi Cowan is an Associate Professor at the University of Toronto Mississauga, specializing in Scottish and New France history. Her latest works include The Possession of Barbe Hallay (2022) and Gender in Scotland 1200-1800 (2024).

Wednesday, December 18, 7 p.m.

A few lines in the margin of a manuscript can tell us a lot about the past. In this talk, the historian Mairi Cowan will show how a single marginal gloss can open new perspectives on how people in seventeenth-century Quebec thought about the wider world. Marie Hiroüin de la Conception, a nun at the Hôtel-Dieu hospital, was described as a “Scottish gentlewoman” in one of the community’s records. Further searching through the Hôtel-Dieu archives and documents from Scotland, France, and Italy provides clues about a family that had fled from Scotland to France during the Reformation.

Augustines at the Hôtel-Dieu in Quebec thought it was essential to emphasize Marie Hiroüin’s Scottishness and nobility, which raises questions that extend far beyond the small French settlement into what it meant to be “Scottish” so far from Scotland, how social status in exile could be relevant for a nursing order of nuns, and why people in New France described Mary Stewart – also known as Mary, Queen of Scots – as the Queen of England. Thinking through these questions helps us understand the Hôtel-Dieu in New France and the Scottish diaspora, the complexities of Tudor dynastic succession, and the far-reaching web of early modern spiritual geopolitics.

Library Lecture: “Women and Botany in 19th-Century Canada” by Ann Shteir

Thursday, January 9, 7 p.m.

 

Celebrating Historical Research and Historical Researchers: Women and Botany in 19th-Century Canada. An Illustrated Talk

 

Papers in the Transactions of the Literary and Historical Society of Quebec from the 1820s and 1830s are historical documents by individuals in early 19th-century Canada who were searching for knowledge about nature in a “new land” and who also wanted to “excite in the rising generation a taste for scientific knowledge and pursuits.” Two women were among the researchers: Christian Ramsay (Countess Dalhousie), who contributed a “Catalogue of Canadian Plants collected in 1827,” and Harriet Sheppard (“Mrs. Sheppard”), who wrote about shells and Canadian songbirds in Quebec and had a keen interest in plants.

 

This talk celebrates women who pursued knowledge of nature, especially knowledge about plants, in 19th-century Canada. It features Lady Dalhousie and Anne Mary Perceval in Quebec, Catharine Parr Traill and Alice Hollingworth in Ontario, and Mary Brenton in Newfoundland. Who were they? How did they come to know about plants? What were their contributions? What did their work mean to them? How do we find them? And where do we find material by them and about them?

This talk also celebrates researchers in Flora’s Fieldworkers whose curiosity led them to letters and biography, artwork and craftwork, into archives, herbaria, and institutional records, and also into scrapbooks, logbooks, textbooks, and teaching tools to seek answers to those questions about women and knowledge.

 


 

Presenter Biography

 

Ann Shteir is a Professor Emerita in the School of Gender, Sexuality, and Women’s Studies at York University. She received an Honorary Law degree from York University in 2016 for her work in developing York’s pioneering graduate program in Gender, Feminist, and Women’s Studies.

Shteir is also the author of Cultivating Women, Cultivating Science: Flora’s Daughters and Botany in England, 1760 to 1860 (Johns Hopkins University Press, 1996), which was awarded the Joan Kelly Memorial Prize for Women’s History. She turned her attention next to women and botany in Canada. She collaborated with botanist Jacques Cayouette on an article published in Scientia Canadensis (2019) about four women who collected plants in early 19th-century Quebec and Newfoundland. She also organized a workshop at York University that brought together botanists, historians of science, art historians, literary scholars, garden historians, and others who, like her, wanted to know more about women, plants, and botanical work in Canada across the 1800s. The edited book Flora’s Fieldworkers: Women and Botany in Nineteenth-Century Canada (McGill-Queen’s University Press, 2022) was a happy result.
