Our next Scottish Studies Roundtable Series is on March 2 from 4-5:30pm in MCKN 132. Ryan Burns of Northwestern University, will give a presentation titled "Cromwell, Lord Protector of Catholics? Strange Bedfellows in Cromwellian Scotland." This presentation "will explain why Scottish Catholics welcomed Cromwell, a man whose massacres in Ireland were well known, and a man who saw Catholicism as a “false, abominable and Antichristian doctrine” full of “useless orders and traditions”. It is part of a larger project on anti-popery and religious toleration’s failure to rise in early modern Scotland."
Ryan Burns is a PhD candidate at Northwestern University, specializing in British and European history. His work explores the ways in which early modern societies coped with religious diversity, and the reasons why toleration or secularism emerged in some regions while sectarian animosities persisted in others. Ryan holds a BA in History and Political Science from Kenyon College and an MPhil in early modern history from the University of Cambridge.
As always, light refreshments will be provided. Email scottish@uoguelph.ca for more details. The event is open to the public.

Our own Alice Glaze has won the Women's History Scotland Leah Leneman Essay Prize 2014 for her essay: "Women and Kirk Discipline: Prosecution, Negotiation and the Limits of Control." This prize is very prestigious and embellishes the Department's role as a preeminent site for Scottish Studies worldwide!
Alice is a third-year PhD candidate studying women's social and economic networks in seventeenth-century Scotland. Her work uses digital humanities tools such as mapping and network visualization to understand women's ties of kinship, trade and support in the town of Canongate, now part of Edinburgh's Royal Mile. Her winning essay explores the ambiguous and often contradictory relationship between the Canongate kirk session (local church court) and its female parishioners.
Congratulations from all of us! For more on the prize visit Women's History Scotland
