* Tanja Bueltmann, Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand
I am currently in the process of finishing my PhD thesis at Victoria University of Wellington. Essentially a cultural and social history, the thesis explores how members of the New Zealand's Scottish migrant community utilised aspects of their ethno-cultural reteroire to locate the self in the new world between c1850 and 1930. More specifically, it examines events such as Caledonian gqmes or Burns anniversaries as well as family and kinship networks to assess how the settlers adapted to the new environment and what role, if any, their origins played in the complex and multi-dimensional process of identity construction. It is within this context that I am particuarly interested in the role of memory narratives and mnemonic practices, conceptualising them as one frutiful approach to the study of migrant experience and collective identity construction.

Elizabeth Cohen, York University, Toronto, Canada
Drawing especially on the criminal court records from Rome circa 1600, my research reconstructs the everyday social strategies, cultural negotiations, and self-representations of nonelite people, notably women, in an unusual early modern city. Shaped approximately by anthropology and transactional sociology, the exercise centres on very close readings of non-canonical judicial texts, composed collaboratively by the magistrates and a motley of witnesses. At York University (Toronto) I teach undergraduates and graduate students in History and in interdisciplinary programs in Humanities and Women's Studies.

I work with prolix, near-verbatim records of Renaissance Rome's criminal courts to do political and cultural anthropology of that city and its wide hinterland. I study transactional strategies, evanescent coalitions, and fleeting, fragile structures, with an eye to action and to process -- that is my social science -- but, and here comes culture -- I also track narrative strategies, signs, symbols, metaphors, and linguistic gambits, and even -- a hoary word, ideas, wielded in daily life and communal or personal politics. Scorning jargon, championing artistry, I write playfully, not just for us scholars, telling good stories for readers' delight.

He is now a regular member of the Geomatics Research Centre at Université Laval. He has been working since last year to map out the theoretical terms of the research program, concentrating on LAMIC's principal theme, namely the transmission of culture in a museum context, examining it in terms of museality, that is the museumness of artefacts and ideas, both inside and outside of museums and, consequently, of museology itself.

Joseph Maslen is researching conflicts of representation in nineteenth and twentieth-century England and Scotland, and their concordances with cultural and political therory and with earlier literatures and histories, ancient, Renaissance and early-modern. His focus is the inter-textual play of personal testimonies about events in the past/present, and the problems of language in the expression of personal inter-subjectivities: the speaking or writing of what is felt in the experience and motivations of individuals and their collectivities.

I have also written on the mediation of news about Chartists inthe Illustrated London News, and am currently working on the Band of Hope, the youth arm of the temperance movement. Much of my work has used printed material such as periodicals, but I am now working with lantern slides and ephemera from archives, also incorporating oral history.

Case studies were focussed upon British cystallograhy in the 1950s. Since 2007, Mols has turned towards the history of computing in Belgium. She is working, eg, at the collection of oral histories of the constitution of basic repertoires of archives and information. Issues explored through this research are the circulation of expert know-how in electronic computing between the Anglo-Saxon world and continental Europe, circulation that is deconstructed from a standpoint focused in material and expert cultures.

Philosophe et je me suis tournée vers l'histoire des idées éducatives à la suite de mon experience de formation des maîtres. Plus largement, mon interrogation concerne ce que Egle Becchi a nommé les « savoirs de l'enfance »; l'orientation de mes recherches vise à relativiser l' "enfant" comme objet de connaissance et de pratiques intitutionnelles, pour penser l'évolution de son statut entant qu'élement solidaire d'autres aspects de la culture. Ma thèse portait sur la généalogie de la psychologie de l'enfant et son influence sur les idéaux pédagogiques du XXe siècle (De Darwin à Piaget, CNRS éditons, 2001). Je suis membre de l'Association pour le Développement de l'Histoire Culturelle (ADHC), du Conseil d'administration de la Société Française pour l'histoire des Sciences de l'Homme (SFHSH). Ce cadre permet de placer les questions d'éducation et l'histoire de la pédagogie dans l'histoire des sciences humaines, de penser leur genèse de façon transdisciplinaire. A Paris 8 mes recherches portent sur la sociohistoire de l'éducation, et dans ce cadre j'ai coordonné L'Education nouvelle, histoire, présence et devenir, Annick Ohayon et Antoine Savoye, Bern, Peter Lang. L'histoire des idées éducatives est aussi présente dans la Bibliothèque philosophique de l'éducation de l'INRP, que je codirige avec François Jacquet-Francillon et Marie-Claude Blais.
