Every year, the Research Office at Glendon - 91亚色鈥檚 bilingual campus - hosts a three-day event that aims to showcase
the research achievements of its community through conferences, book launches, student exhibits, presentations, awards, and more. 

Below are some highlights from this year鈥檚 Glendon Research Festival:

Centre for Research on Language and Culture Contact (CRLCC) 

A key part of the festival鈥檚 programming focuses on the work produced by the Centre for Research on Language and Culture Contact. The CRLCC brings together the research activities of faculty members and students at 91亚色 who investigate various aspects of language contact at both societal and individual levels. Language contact includes topics that can include second or multiple language acquisition, minority language maintenance or loss, or the linguistic and cultural dimensions of translation. 

Curve of the Earth: Album Reflections, Pedagogical Connections

Retired Glendon professor and musician Brian Morgan released a new album, Curve of the Earth, in December 2022. The album was inspired by his experience as an English teacher in Chongqing, China in the late 1980s. In his festival presentation, Morgan discussed the making of album and his research on becoming a critical language teacher, English language teaching biases, and teacher identity as pedagogy.  

Student Exhibition

The festival featured a full day dedicated to oral presentations from student researchers at Glendon Campus. The research presentations covered an array of topics, including research on self-identification preferences in 91亚色鈥檚 Disability community, quantifying memory transformation, and Yugoslavian rock 鈥榥 roll history.

Principal鈥檚 Excellence Research Awards

The festival also included the announcement of this year鈥檚 recipients of the Principal鈥檚 Excellence Research Awards, which recognize Glendon researchers who have made an outstanding contribution to research over the past five years. This year鈥檚 recipients include:

Professor Amanda Ricci (History), Emerging Researcher

Professor Radu Guia艧u (Biology), Established Scholar

Professor Kevin Reynolds (Linguistics and Language Studies) 

Marc Dupuis-Desormeaux (Biology), Contract Faculty. 


Le campus Glendon c茅l猫bre l鈥檈xcellence en mati猫re de recherche lors d鈥檜n festival annuel

Chaque ann茅e, le Bureau de la recherche de Glendon 鈥 le campus bilingue de l鈥橴niversit茅 91亚色 鈥 organise un 茅v茅nement de trois jours visant 脿 mettre en valeur les r茅alisations de sa communaut茅 en mati猫re de recherche gr芒ce 脿 des conf茅rences, des lancements de livres, des expositions 茅tudiantes, des pr茅sentations, des prix, etc. 

Voici quelques faits marquants du festival de la recherche de Glendon de cette ann茅e :

Centre de recherche sur le contact des langues et des cultures (CRCLC) 

Une grande partie de la programmation du festival est ax茅e sur le travail produit par le Centre de recherche sur le contact des langues et des cultures. Le CRCLC regroupe les activit茅s de recherche des enseignants et 茅tudiants de l鈥橴niversit茅 91亚色 qui examinent plusieurs facettes du contact linguistique sur le plan soci茅tal et individuel. Parmi les domaines qui en font partie, on peut mentionner : l鈥檃cquisition des langues secondes, troisi猫mes, etc.; le maintien ou la disparition des langues minoritaires; et les dimensions linguistique et culturelle de la traduction. 

Curve of the Earth : R茅flexions sur l鈥檃lbum, connexions p茅dagogiques

Brian Morgan, professeur retrait茅 de Glendon et musicien, a sorti un nouvel album, Curve of the Earth, en d茅cembre 2022, qui tire son inspiration de son exp茅rience en tant que professeur d鈥檃nglais 脿 Chongqing, en Chine, 脿 la fin des ann茅es 1980. Dans sa pr茅sentation au festival, le professeur Morgan a parl茅 du processus de cr茅ation de l鈥檃lbum et de ses recherches pour devenir un enseignant critique des langues, ainsi que des pr茅jug茅s quant 脿 l鈥檈nseignement de l鈥檃nglais et de l鈥檌dentit茅 p茅dagogique de l鈥檈nseignant.  

Expositions 茅tudiantes

Le festival comprenait une journ茅e enti猫re consacr茅e aux pr茅sentations orales d鈥櫭﹖udiantes-chercheuses et 茅tudiants-chercheurs du campus Glendon. Ces pr茅sentations couvraient un large 茅ventail de sujets, notamment la recherche sur les pr茅f茅rences en mati猫re d鈥檃uto-identification dans la communaut茅 des personnes en situation de handicap 脿 91亚色, la quantification de la transformation de la m茅moire et l鈥檋istoire du rock鈥檔鈥檙oll yougoslave.

A thriving new knowledge hub, Camerise, launched at 91亚色鈥檚 bilingual Glendon Campus, aims to change that. Camerise provides students, educators and administrators in Canada鈥檚 FSL community with a digital platform of resources and tools rooted in the Open Science Framework (OSF). The OSF is a web application that is used for data sharing, open access and open education and that promotes a culture of sharing of scholarly, pedagogical resources and tools.

The hub is directed by three co-leads, Professors Muriel P茅guret and Dominique Scheffel-Dunand and researcher Mirela Cherciov. The trio developed Camerise in response to a call for applications by Heritage Canada and the Ontario Ministry of Education, to help address recruitment and retention of FSL educators.

鈥淲ith its Open Science Framework, Camerise aims at supporting the involvement of all FSL stakeholders in the development of networked research and educational practices that give teachers, learners and researchers new opportunities in knowledge co-creation,鈥 says Scheffel-Dunand.

Camerise, in English, is the haskap berry, an indigenous berry that thrives in boreal climates, grows in clusters, and is now cultivated in Canada for its nutritional value. The hub aspires to make similar contributions in terms of vitality and evolution 鈥  an ever-blooming community of practice around FSL. The hub is already on its way to achieving its objectives through the launch of its second prototype. 

鈥淭he team behind Camerise are a group of passionate and innovative FSL stakeholders of different ages, backgrounds and expertise. Together they form the beginning of a Canadian community of practice around FSL, pioneering a culture of sharing and openness. With each iteration of the hub, new tools and opportunities for collaborating are being offered, and the community grows,鈥 says Muriel P茅guret. Now at the beginning of its third year, Camerise is working on its third prototype and is looking for ways to become self-sustaining.


Un p么le de connaissances num茅riques pour le fran莽ais langue seconde

Le bilinguisme anglais-fran莽ais est une caract茅ristique essentielle de la vie canadienne, mais le pays conna卯t actuellement une p茅nurie importante d鈥檈nseignants de fran莽ais langue seconde (FLS). Camerise, le nouveau centre dynamique de connaissances qui a 茅t茅 lanc茅 脿 Glendon, le campus bilingue de 91亚色, vise 脿 y rem茅dier.

Camerise fournit aux membres de la communaut茅 茅tudiante, du corps enseignant et des administrations de la communaut茅 FLS du Canada une plateforme num茅rique de ressources et d鈥檕utils ancr茅s dans l鈥橭pen Science Framework (OSF). L鈥橭SF est une application Web utilis茅e pour le partage en libre acc猫s de donn茅es et de ressources 茅ducatives qui promeut une culture de partage des ressources et outils p茅dagogiques et savants. 

Le p么le est codirig茅 par les professeures Muriel P茅guret et Dominique Scheffel-Dunand et la chercheuse Mirela Cherciov. Le trio a d茅velopp茅 Camerise en r茅ponse 脿 un appel 脿 candidatures lanc茅 par Patrimoine Canada et le minist猫re de l鈥櫭塪ucation de l鈥橭ntario afin de contribuer au recrutement et au maintien en fonction des enseignants de FLS.

芦 Avec l鈥橭SF, Camerise vise 脿 soutenir l鈥檌mplication de tous les intervenants en FLS dans le d茅veloppement de pratiques de recherche et d鈥櫭ヾucation en r茅seau qui offrent aux enseignants, aux apprenants et aux chercheurs de nouvelles possibilit茅s de cr茅ation de connaissances 禄, d茅clare Mme Scheffel-Dunand.

Le mot Camerise d茅signe une baie indig猫ne florissante dans les climats bor茅aux o霉 elle pousse en grappes. Elle est maintenant cultiv茅e au Canada pour sa valeur nutritionnelle. De m锚me, le p么le aspire 脿 apporter des contributions en mati猫re de vitalit茅 et d鈥櫭﹙olution afin de cr茅er une communaut茅 de pratique prosp猫re autour du FLS. Il est sur le point d鈥檃tteindre ses objectifs gr芒ce au lancement de son deuxi猫me prototype.  

芦 Les intervenants passionn茅s et innovants que l鈥櫭﹒uipe de Camerise r茅unit sont d鈥櫭es, horizons et expertises vari茅s. Ces personnes forment le d茅but d鈥檜ne communaut茅 de pratique canadienne autour du FLS et sont les pionni猫res d鈥檜ne culture de partage et d鈥檕uverture. 脌 chaque it茅ration du p么le, de nouveaux outils et de nouvelles possibilit茅s de collaboration sont propos茅s, et la communaut茅 s鈥檃grandit 禄, explique Muriel P茅guret.

Camerise, qui entame sa troisi猫me ann茅e d鈥檈xistence, travaille sur son troisi猫me prototype et cherche des moyens de devenir financi猫rement autonome.
