    CIRM Promenade: guided tour of Montreal monuments with Louis Kelly


    Louis Kelly, doctoral student at the University of Amsterdam and researcher on memory, presents this short guided tour of Montreal monuments and their role in the construction of public memory. Louis spent the summer of 2023 in Montreal, conducting his fieldwork under the supervision of Mary Anne Poutanen, CIRM member and co-director of the "Immigration, everyday life, and religion" axis. He observed and questioned passers-by around the Macdonald, Maisonneuve and Vauquelin monuments, which he talks about here (in addition to other monuments along the way).

    The video is in English, with subtitles available.



    Louis has a few words to say: "When I started my PhD at the University of Amsterdam, my supervisors advised me to get in touch with the academic community in Montreal and find "boots on the ground" who could help me. It seemed obvious then, and still is today, that Dr. Poutanen, Dr. Gervais and the rest of CRIEM would help me in this task. After a summer spent in their offices during my fieldwork, I'm grateful for the support received and happy to share this "virtual tour" to show you my research and its importance to the study of Montreal's public memory."
