Abstract Until recently, studies of precarity have overlooked aging and late life. This poster presents a snapshot of conceptual work in progress on a Canadian Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) Insight Grant on precarity and aging. The poster outlines existing definitions and theoretical perspectives, key results, a current evolving conceptual model, and a working definition of Precarious Aging. It situates existing knowledge and definitions of precarity, highlights crucial intersectional locations of gender, im/migration and (dis)ability, and clarifies the concept of precarity in later life. Results at this point in the study are based on conceptual reviews, reviews of literature on precarity and aging, and the consideration of allied concepts. In conclusion, the concept of precarity offers a promising lens to guide research in the field of social and critical gerontology, providing a foundation for an enhanced understanding of the lives and realities of older people with regards to aging, disadvantage, and inequality.

Archaeologists, like many other scholars in the Social Sciences and Humanities, are particularly concerned with the study of past and present subalterns. Yet the very concept of ‘the subaltern’ is elusive and rarely theorized in archaeological literature, or it is only mentioned in passing. This article engages with the work of Gramsci and Patricia Hill Collins to map a more comprehensive definition of subalternity, and to develop a methodology to chart the different ways in which subalternity is manifested and reproduced.

This volume has been many years in the making. I first discovered examples of wives and husbands suing each other in Requests in 1989 while pursuing doctoral research. Pat Stretton and Jane Martindale independently suggested that the cases were worthy of publication, and Jane helped to bring this idea to the attention of the literary editors of the Royal Historical Society. I thank them both. Since then the editors of the Camden Series, Andrew Pettegree and Ian Archer, have provided support and shown unstinting patience for a project that has seasonally burst the banks of its projected deadlines. I am grateful to them, to the anonymous reviewer of the original proposal for pointing out the need to determine the frequency with which cases of this type came into Requests, and to the National Archives for permitting the cases to be reproduced. For financial support I wish to acknowledge the generosity of the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada, grant-giving bodies within Waikato University, Dalhousie University, and Saint Mary's University, and Lyndan Warner. A number of scholars, archivists, and friends have provided advice as well as technical help in identifying legal counsel, deciphering handwriting, and translating Latin abbreviations. I would like to thank Christopher Brooks, Sara Butler, Sabina Flannagan, Elizabeth Foyster, Lamar Hill, Martin Holt, Wilfrid Prest, and the helpful staff at the National Archives, especially Amanda Bevan, Sean Cunningham, Alistair Hanson, and Malcolm Mercer. All of them are absolved of responsibility for any of the errors that remain. For the generosity of their hospitality during the compiling and editing of this volume, I would like to offer my gratitude to Gareth Edwards, Frances Wedgwood, Nick Manglaras, Francesca Amirato, and the Tewsons. Final thanks go to Lyndan Warner, for her support, her comments on the introduction, and her willingness to look after our children while I made annual visits to London and Kew.

The content in this special issue was created in the context of the Community First: Impacts of Community Engagement (CFICE, pronounced “suffice”) partnership research project, funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada beginning in 2012. As you will see in this short video, our project seeks to develop strong community-campus partnerships “by putting community first”.

Funded Research Project

This article emerges from an analysis of the data from a Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada-funded research project that examined the ways two universities were taking up the Truth and Reconciliation Commission and its Calls to Action. This article focuses on reconcili action as critical social action. A multi-levelled analysis of the data revealed that colonialism and violence in the academy was a theme of critical importance to research participants. This article concludes by making recommendations for ways universities can unpack and address violence and contestation to move reconciliation forward in meaningful and respectful ways.
