The Formal and Informal Politics of British Rule in Post-conquest Quebec, 1760-1837
This striking reinterpretation of the history of Quebec in the revolutionary era - demonstrated through a micro-historical analysis of 20,000 court records as well as official and unofficial political discourses - shows that a central aim of British Imperial rule was the assimilation and subjugation of the French Canadian majority in the colony.
Applied Statistics and Data Science
This proceedings volume features top contributions in modern statistical methods from Statistics 2021 Canada, the 6th Annual Canadian Conference in Applied Statistics, held virtually on July 15-18, 2021. Papers are contributed from established and emerging scholars, covering cutting-edge and contemporary innovative techniques in statistics and data science. Major areas of contribution include Bayesian statistics; computational statistics; data science; semi-parametric regression; and stochastic methods in biology, crop science, ecology and engineering. It will be a valuable edited collection for graduate students, researchers, and practitioners in a wide array of applied statistical and data science methods.
Past, Present, and Future of Statistical Science
Past, Present, and Future of Statistical Science was commissioned in 2013 by the Committee of Presidents of Statistical Societies (COPSS) to celebrate its 50th anniversary and the International Year of Statistics. COPSS consists of five charter member statistical societies in North America and is best known for sponsoring prestigious awards in stat
Monte Carlo and Quasi-Monte Carlo Methods 2008
This book represents the refereed proceedings of the Eighth International Conference on Monte Carlo (MC)and Quasi-Monte Carlo (QMC) Methods in Scientific Computing, held in Montreal (Canada) in July 2008. It covers the latest theoretical developments as well as important applications of these methods in different areas. It contains two tutorials, eight invited articles, and 32 carefully selected articles based on the 135 contributed presentations made at the conference. This conference is a major event in Monte Carlo methods and is the premiere event for quasi-Monte Carlo and its combination with Monte Carlo. This series of proceedings volumes is the primary outlet for quasi-Monte Carlo research.
Monte Carlo and Quasi-Monte Carlo Methods 2010
This book represents the refereed proceedings of the Ninth International Conference on Monte Carlo and Quasi-Monte Carlo Methods in Scientific Computing that was held at the University of Warsaw (Poland) in August 2010. These biennial conferences are major events for Monte Carlo and the premiere event for quasi-Monte Carlo research. The proceedings include articles based on invited lectures as well as carefully selected contributed papers on all theoretical aspects and applications of Monte Carlo and quasi-Monte Carlo methods. The reader will be provided with information on latest developments in these very active areas. The book is an excellent reference for theoreticians and practitioners interested in solving high-dimensional computational problems arising, in particular, in finance and statistics.
The Sense of the Sacred in the Early Novels of Quebec
Quebec’s early novels are full of sacred themes and motifs – devotional objects and practices, parables and scripture, priests and nuns, transcendence, divinity, and eternity. Yet the critical gaze of the past fifty years has seldom engaged the idea of the sacred in a sustained way. Indeed the presence of the sacred has alienated modern and postmodern readers who ignore or downplay its significance, leading to misguided assessments of these works as mediocre and even unreadable for contemporary audiences. The Sense of the Sacred in the Early Novels of Quebec reexamines seven classic novels at the foundations of Quebec’s national literature: Patrice Lacombe’s La Terre paternelle (1846...
To Be Equals in Our Own Country
“When the history of suffrage is written, the role played by our politicians will cut a sad figure beside that of the women they insulted.” Speaking in 1935, feminist Idola Saint-Jean captured the bitter nature of Quebec women’s fight for enfranchisement, as religious authorities weighed what they stood to gain or lose and politicians showed open disdain during Legislative Assembly debates. Quebec women had to wait until 1940 or longer to cast a ballot. This passionate yet even-handed account is filled with vivid characters and pivotal events on the road to suffrage in the province. It examines Quebec women’s participation in provincial and municipal politics since winning the vote and compares women’s struggle to that in other countries. An astute exploration of suffrage, To Be Equals in Our Own Country treats enfranchisement – and the legal, social, and economic rights that stem from it – as a fundamental question of human rights.

Écrire en temps d'insurrections
Jusqu'ici, les historiens et les littéraires qui se sont penchés sur les Rébellions de 1837-1838 ont généralement nié l'engagement des femmes dans cet épisode révolutionnaire. Les recherches dans les archives et les dépouillements de journaux révèlent néanmoins une diversité d'actions et de prises de parole des Bas-Canadiennes, dans l'espace privé comme dans l'espace public. Ce livre présente un ensemble de 300 lettres écrites entre 1830 et 1840 par des femmes liées au mouvement patriote qui, même exclues de la sphère publique, n'évoluaient pourtant pas en circuit fermé. Tout en décrivant les conditions matérielles, les codes et les relations sociales qui encadraient les pratiques épistolaires de l'époque, l'auteure fait état des mutations de l'écriture féminine au contact des évènements insurrectionnels et des idéaux propres au siècle des nationalités et du romantisme. Ce faisant, elle renouvelle brillamment la perspective historique et rectifie certaines idées reçues sur l'histoire littéraire des femmes et du Québec.
Être un geste, un cri, une action
Les textes qui composent cet ouvrage ont pour objectif d’octroyer un espace aux révoltes des femmes d’hier et d’aujourd’hui afin qu’elles sortent de l’ombre pour faire brèche aux biais genrés qui entravent la légitimation de leurs pratiques. Ainsi, ce collectif rassemble des études et des exemples de femmes qui, en assumant un degré certain d’agentivité, s’érigent comme sujets par l’appropriation de leur existence et de leur identité.
