This course introduces students to diverse forms of family and kinship ties in Canada and the theoretical background necessary for analyzing them sociologically. We discuss the changing nature of families which impact past and present issues affecting family life. It is here, that the second half of the course is devoted to exploring the socio-historical family life of nurses serving in the Canadian Army Medical Corps (CAMC). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using official CAMC nursing files and a database created specifically for entering the nurse profile information, students are able to populate the database and capturing the untold stories of nurses who served in CAMC and their family life in WW1. The historical information explored through primary evidence collecting will assist historians interested in Canadian nursing profiles from WW1. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This archival project is in collaboration with community partner, Big Ideas Group Consulting<\/em>, and course support and content expertise from Dr. Dominique Marshall, Department of History at Carleton University, Dr. Lydia Wytenbroek from University of British Columbia\u2019s School of Nursing, and Jessica McIntyre (Department Head of World Studies and Social Science at Glebe Collegiate Institute) and her grade 10 history class. Throughout the project, students have been uncovering similarities and differences in family relations and delving into the socio-economic, cultural, race, gender and epidemic issues impacting nurses and their families during the first half of the Twentieth Century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the conclusion of the inter-institutional project, Carleton undergraduate students and grade 10 history students came together to present a documentary and infographics on nursing profiles with reflections. Selected student work will be posted on the Recipro<\/a> website, an initiative resulting from a partnership between the history departments of the University of Ottawa and Carleton University. Recipro is made possible thanks to a Shared Online Projects Initiative (SOPI) grant from the vice-provosts of both institutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
