As part of 糖心vlog官方入口鈥檚 50^th anniversary, the Robertson Library is presenting a lecture series to celebrate the historical roots of higher education on Prince Edward Island and its future. The series is named after educator Frank Pigot, honoured as a 糖心vlog官方入口 Founder for his work building the Library鈥檚 PEI Collection and University Archives. The next talk is Tuesday, June 25 at 6:30 pm on the second floor of 糖心vlog官方入口鈥檚 Robertson Library. PEI writer Marian Bruce will present 鈥淭he Lion of Prince of Wales: Alexander Anderson鈥擜n Unsung Hero of Prince Edward Island鈥檚 Education System.鈥�

Anderson was the principal of Prince of Wales College for almost 40 years, from 1862 to 1901. He was chief superintendent of Island schools for a decade and was much revered by his students and admired by the community.

鈥淥f the many teachers I have known,鈥� wrote Sir Andrew Macphail, 鈥渉e was the best.鈥�

L.M. Montgomery wrote,鈥� of all the teachers I have ever sat under, none was to be compared to Dr. Anderson.鈥�

Diplomat and scholar Joseph Gould Schurman described Anderson as 鈥渋ncomparably the greatest benefactor the Island has had鈥� in education.

Anderson鈥檚 gifts to education did not end at the door of the classroom. Despite decades of struggle鈥攊ncluding chronic underfunding, overcrowding, woefully unprepared products, and threats to the life of the college鈥擜nderson not only developed an institution renowned for excellence, but also helped raise standards throughout the rural school system. He championed equality for female and extended the hand of friendship to Roman Catholic educators in an era of religious strife.

Alyson Brown, a student at the Atlantic Veterinary College, will spend the summer working on a research project investigating the impact of accelerated climate change on Atlantic salmon aquaculture in Atlantic Canada.

The project, developed by Dr. Mark Fast, associate professor of fish health at AVC, and collaborators at Memorial University and the University of Waterloo, is part of the College鈥檚 veterinary student research awards (VetSRA) program, which is designed to give students a solid foundation in research.

鈥淎ccelerated climate change is predicted to result in rapidly changing water conditions, like increasing water temperatures and low oxygen levels,鈥� says Fast. 鈥淚n some areas, water temperatures are forecasted to increase by 2-4 degrees C over the next 20 to 30 years. These changes may push the Atlantic salmon outside its optimal physiological range during the summer, negatively impacting fish health and production鈥攁nd ultimately the sustainability of the industry.鈥�

Fast wants to develop a 鈥渞oad map鈥� for the adaptation of salmon aquaculture production to climate change, and for the better management of fish health and diseases. To do this, he wants to identify Atlantic salmon families that have enhanced capacity to adapt to environmental challenges and mount strong pathogen-specific immune responses, and he wants to evaluate the effectiveness of current ISA vaccines at elevated temperatures, and how pathogens will respond to climate change.

Brown will work with Fast at AVC鈥檚 aquatic animal facility and with industry collaborator MOWI at Huntsman Marine Science Centre, New Brunswick, to test the impact of high temperatures and low oxygen on disease resistance in salmon.

Brown, who earned her Master of Science degree under Fast鈥檚 supervision, wants to work in aquaculture after she graduates in 2022. She enjoys the diversity of the aquatic animal health aspect of veterinary medicine.

鈥淎s an aquaculture vet, I could play a key role in making sure our fish and shellfish are healthy and sustainable. This would involve disease surveillance and prevention, sampling fish and water, and providing treatment when necessary. I love that this discipline allows for a balance between hands-on animal care and diagnostics.鈥�

The L.M. Montgomery Institute and 糖心vlog官方入口鈥檚 Robertson Library has launched the Journal of L.M. Montgomery Studies. The open-access journal is the only journal dedicated to one of the world鈥檚 most enduring writers, Prince Edward Island鈥檚 L.M. Montgomery.

Montgomery Studies is a refereed, open-access digital space. Its mandate is to publish intriguing, highly original, rigorously researched scholarship on all aspects of L.M. Montgomery鈥檚 life, influences, creative work, and legacy. The journal鈥檚 scope is interdisciplinary and international. The journal is aimed at Montgomery scholars and the broad community of Montgomery enthusiasts.

鈥淭he LMMI is delighted to announce this journal which celebrates and honours Canadian icon L.M. Montgomery,鈥� said Dr. Kate Scarth, 糖心vlog官方入口鈥檚 Chair of L.M. Montgomery Studies and assistant professor in Applied Communication, Leadership, and Culture, and editor of the Journal of L.M Montgomery Studies. 鈥淎s well as global support from our editorial board and submitters, so many people at 糖心vlog官方入口鈥攖he president, LMMI committee members, and the library staff鈥攈ave made the journal possible. It is our way of celebrating 糖心vlog官方入口鈥檚 50^th and the LMMI鈥檚 25^th anniversary last year in 2018.鈥�

The journal is the official scholarly publication of the L.M. Montgomery Institute (LMMI) at the 糖心vlog官方入口. The L.M. Montgomery Institute Management Committee establishes the journal's focus and scope and appoints the editorial board.

鈥淭he growing field of Montgomery Studies engages established and emerging scholars from across the world,鈥� said Dr. Philip Smith, chair of the LMMI. 鈥淭his journal, based on Montgomery鈥檚 Island home, and accessible to researchers and fans internationally, advances her legacy and new understandings of the implications of her life and works.鈥�

The journal has a continuous publication schedule and accepts submissions year-round. Articles, as well as video, digital projects, creative writing, and other innovative work, will be published online and will be available on the journal鈥檚 website. Hard copies of a series of articles, such as those associated with LMMI biennial conferences, will periodically be made available for purchase via print on demand.

Dr. Scarth鈥檚 co-editor is Dr. Emily Woster, Visiting Scholar of the LMMI and a professor in the Department of English, Linguistics, and Writing Studies at the University of Minnesota Duluth. Dr. Elizabeth 鈥淏etsy鈥� Epperly, past-president of the 糖心vlog官方入口, is an honorary editor.

L. M. Montgomery and the Matter of Nature(s), a book co-edited by 糖心vlog官方入口鈥檚 Dr. Jean Mitchell, has won the 2018 Association of Canadian and Quebec Literatures鈥� (AQCL) Gabrielle Roy Prize. The AQCL recognizes two books every year with this prestigious award for literary criticism, one in French and one in English. This year鈥檚 awards were announced at the annual Congress of the Humanities and Social Sciences in Vancouver, British Columbia.

鈥淥n behalf of the Faculty of Arts, I would like to extend heartfelt congratulations to Dr. Jean Mitchell,鈥� said Dr. Neb Kujundzic, dean of Arts at 糖心vlog官方入口. 鈥淭o receive a nationally recognized award is a great honour for the faculty and the 糖心vlog官方入口.鈥�

鈥淭his well-curated collection of essays approaches the intersection of humanity and nature from diverse and exciting perspectives,鈥� reads the feedback from the award jury. Although the individual essays come from a variety of fields, including (but not limited to) literature, animal studies, and law, the collection is both concise and coherent. These excellent analyses of familiar texts and figures provide new and useful insights into individual works and the larger field of ecocritical studies generally.  L.M. Montgomery and the Matter of Nature(s)illustrates what anyone familiar with the orchard in Anne of Green Gables already knows鈥攖hat Montgomery鈥檚 flair for pastoral writing is among her finest attributes as a serious writer.鈥�

Dr. Jean Mitchell is an associate professor of anthropology at 糖心vlog官方入口. She co-edited L. M. Montgomery and the Matter of Nature(s) with Dr. Rita Bode of Trent University. The book is a critical study of L.M. Montgomery鈥檚 relationship to the material world and the revealing interconnections between nature and culture.

From the publisher鈥檚 website:

L.M. Montgomery鈥檚 writings are replete with enchanting yet subtle and fluid depictions of nature that convey her intense appreciation for the natural world. At a time of ecological crises, intensifying environmental anxiety, and burgeoning eco-critical perspectives, L.M. Montgomery and the Matter of Nature(s) repositions the Canadian author鈥檚 relationship to nature in terms of current environmental criticism across several disciplines, introducing a fresh approach to her life and work. 

Drawing on a wide range of Montgomery鈥檚 novels as well as her journals, this collection suggests that socio-ecological relationships encompass ideas of reciprocity, affiliation, autonomy, and the capacity for transformation in both the human and more-than-human worlds, and that these ideas are integral to Montgomery鈥檚 vision and her literary legacy. Framed by the twin themes of materiality and interrelationships, essays by scholars of literature, law, animal studies, anthropology, and ecology examine place, embodiment, and difference in Montgomery鈥檚 works and embrace the multiplicities embedded in the concept of nature. 

Through innovative critical approaches, L.M. Montgomery and the Matter of Nature(s) opens up conversations about humans鈥� interactions with nature and the material environment.

Congratulations, Dr. Mitchell!
