Kevin O’Sullivan will be a visiting scholar at Carleton University from July 8 to August 4 and will be in Ottawa this coming July to research Canadian archives. Kevin is the architect of the rich http://nonstatehumanitarianism.com/ , a founding member of ‘Transnational Ireland’ International Research Network and the author of many studies of Irish humanitarianism. He is researching countries of the Commonwealth.
The workshop will start at 8:30 in the morning and finish at supper time. There will probably be three distinct themes to be announced, in addition to a short presentation by Kevin on the state of affairs amongst his colleagues.
This will be an occasion to exchange concerns, findings, information about archives and documents, practices and projects, along a schedule that have yet to be determined depending on who will be able to come.
Carleton doctoral candidate and our research assistant Will Tait and I will coordinate the day, make sure that there is food for all during the day. We do not have too much money, but do tell me if you would need assistance for your travel and accommodation. We can also direct you to some hotels and Bed and breakfasts or residence rooms.
Kevin would like to visit the various NGO archives available in Ottawa, and also to work on materials relating to CIDA-NGO relations in the National Archives. This will also be an occasion to assist him.
The number of places is limited. If you would like to register, please contact me at dominique_marshall@carleton.ca
