2016-2017 Annual Report
The Edmundston campus is an active
contributor to positioning the Université
de Moncton as the centre of excellence
in the research and publication of
Acadian and minority studies at the
national and international levels. This
research niche is a strategic priority
for the Université de Moncton.
The first scientific work, from a series
of five, that followed the “L’Acadie dans
tous ses défis” symposium, was released
last January at the Edmundston campus.
Organized as part of the Congrès
mondial acadien (CMA), in Acadia of
the Lands and Forests, this great
multidisciplinary event was chaired by
Vice-President Jacques Paul Couturier
at the Edmundston campus. Attended
by 200 participants, the conference
was a privileged space for the debate of
ideas and reflection fuelled by research
on Acadia, acadianness and the future
of the Acadian people.
The journal
Acadiensis
, specializing
in the study of the history of Atlantic
Canada, devoted its entire Summer/
Autumn 2016 edition to texts prepared
following the symposium and written
only in French. This was a first for this
magazine since its creation 45 years
ago. This issue was published under the
direction of two professors from the
Edmundston campus: Julien Massicotte
and Nicole Lang. It includes various
texts:
