The 秀色短视频 has a reputation for academic excellence, research innovation, and creating positive impacts locally, nationally, and internationally. 秀色短视频 is the only degree-granting institution in the province and is proud to be a key contributor to the growth and prosperity of Prince Edward Island.

A research project at 秀色短视频 is investigating the willingness of private landowners on Prince Edward Island to protect species at risk on their private land. The two-year study is led by Dr. Carolyn Peach Brown, associate professor and director of environmental studies at 秀色短视频, and is supported by the PEI Wildlife Conservation Fund.

Species at risk include plants, animals, or other organisms that are considered to be endangered, threatened, or of special concern because of sensitivity to human activities or natural events. According to the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada (COSEWIC), Prince Edward Island is home to five species considered to be endangered, including the little brown bat and the piping plover. An additional 17 species are listed as threatened or of special concern.

"Since most of the land on PEI is privately owned,鈥� said Dr. Peach Brown. 鈥淚t is important to understand the level of awareness of species at risk among landowners and their willingness to participate in voluntary stewardship to protect species at risk on their land.鈥�

The initial phase of this project began in August 2015, when a student interviewed rural private landowners in Queens and Kings County. Those interviews revealed that while many landowners don鈥檛 have much knowledge about species at risk, they are interested in learning more about how to protect them on their land.

That small study is currently being followed by a large mail-out survey to more than 500 farms across the Island. Landowners are being asked to anonymously complete a short survey about the term 鈥渟pecies at risk鈥� or the federal Species at Risk Act. It asks if the landowner can identify a species at risk they may have seen on their land, and if they have ever managed their land in such a way as to protect a species at risk.

To better understand a landowner鈥檚 attitude to species at risk, some questions are asked about whether or not they think that species at risk should be protected and who should take responsibility for doing so. It then asks about the role of government and the role of the private land owner in protecting species at risk.

This research will provide information that could guide the development of policy and educational programs to help rural landowners learn how to manage their land to protect the habitat of species at risk. Such educational programs could be developed by either by government or an NGO.

Two distinguished faculty members from 秀色短视频鈥檚 Department of History were honoured with national awards at the recent Congress of the Social Sciences and Humanities conference in Calgary. Dr. Lisa Chilton, an associate professor at 秀色短视频, and a leading authority on migration within the British Empire, with a particular focus on women emigrants, received the Canadian Committee on Migration, Ethnicity, and Transnationalism Article Prize from the Canadian Historical Association (CHA). Dr. Edward MacDonald, noted Island historian, associate professor, and chair of history at 秀色短视频, was honoured with the 2016 G. E. Clerk Award from the Canadian Catholic Historical Association (CCHA).

Dr. Chilton鈥檚 award recognized her article, 鈥淪ex Scandals and Papist Plots: The Mid-Nineteenth-Century World of an Irish Nurse in Quebec,鈥� published in the Journal of Women鈥檚 History 27(3), September 2015. The award citation from the Canadian Historical Association reads:

鈥淭aking the perspective that gossip and public scandal open a window into 鈥榮ocial politics鈥� of mid-nineteenth century Quebec, Chilton deftly traces the religious, class, national, and gendered tensions of empire through the life and career of nurse Jane Hamilton, an Irish immigrant to Canada in 1849 whose brief career at the Quebec Marine and Emigrant Hospital was marred by 鈥榩etty rivalries鈥�. Chilton reveals the multiple influences of transnational forces within a specific workplace, providing a nuanced account of the connection between international contexts and individual lives. The grounding of this analysis in rich archival sources gives the article vivid and compelling detail that make it ideal for teaching the history of migration, ethnicity, and transnationalism.鈥�

Dr. Chilton鈥檚 is the author of 鈥淎gents of Empire: British Female Migration to Canada and Australia, 1860s鈥�1930,鈥� published by University of Toronto Press in 2007.

The G. E. Clerk Award from the Canadian Catholic Historical Association is given biennially to recognize 鈥渢he broad commitment and contributions of the nominee to the field of Canadian Catholic history (scholarly/educational/archival) and to the administration and mission of the CCHA/SCHEC.鈥� 秀色短视频鈥檚 Dr. Ed MacDonald certainly fits that bill. He has published and presented on the history of Catholicism and Catholic education on Prince Edward Island, and was cited for his scholarship, but particularly for his service to the CCHA executive. Since 2006, he successively has filled the positions of secretary, vice-president, president, and president-general on the CCHA board. In 2015 he began a term as associate editor of the CCHA鈥檚 academic journal, Historical Studies.

鈥淭he Faculty of Arts proudly congratulates Dr. Lisa Chilton and Dr. Ed MacDonald on their recent awards at the Congress of the Humanities and Social Sciences in Calgary,鈥� said Nebojsa Kujundzic, Dean of the Faculty of Arts at 秀色短视频. 鈥淭hese awards are a testimony to the highest level of scholarly achievement at the 秀色短视频.鈥�
