“…The adult education work of Canadian Journal of Education / Revue canadienne de l'éducation www.cje-rce.ca an independent institution in 1919-was documented by Blais et al (1994) andTouchette (1973). Historical scholarship focused on Laval (Girouard, 1991;Hamelin, 1995;Laberge, 1978;Université Laval, 1952;Warren, 2014) rarely even mentions adult education.…”

Canadian universities today assert their social relevance through highlighting processes such as community engagement, knowledge mobilization, and the promotion of equity, diversity, and inclusion. Much can be learned about such processes through examining an era in which Canadian universities asserted their social relevance through another vocabulary: that of adult education and extension. This article provides a case study of adult education work undertaken at Laval University from 1930 through 1965. Through reconstructing programs and practices at Laval, this article offers insight into past and present efforts of universities to pursue educational objectives with which they are not traditionally associated. The article narrates an important chapter in Canadian educational history, and also elucidates five lessons of importance to contemporary educational scholars and leaders: beware of institution-centric thinking, know how you can help people make a living, partner with external organizations, play to your institutional strengths, and serve and learn from others.

“…The Commission chair, Fernand Dumont, had earlier dismissed devotional Catholicism as "pseudo-beliefs that are in reality superstitions barely disguised by a thin coat of Christian veneer" (Dumont 1966, p. 382). For more details see Gauvreau (2007) and Warren (2014). Morisset introduced Simard to Quebecois religious art, while Lacourcière introduced him to popular culture.…”

“…Nora (1996, p. 3) also decries earlier historians who claimed to be empiricists yet actually privileged narratives that served these nationalist ends. By contrast, Simard's body of work is part of a Quebecois lineage that has promoted collaboration between activist scholars, Church institutions (Warren 2014) and the Quebecois state. What all these studies leave unexplored, however, is how people like the caretakers actually interact with these institutional authorities.…”

Religious Heritage and Nation in Post-Vatican II Catholicism: A View from Quebec

With Quebec’s croix de chemin (wayside crosses) as a jumping off point, I explore the importance of heritage creation as the province transitioned away from pre-Vatican II Catholicism in the 1960s and 1970s. I include two ‘sites of memory’: fieldwork with contemporary cross caretakers and archival materials from a major government-funded inventory of the crosses in the 1970s. Heritage professionals have generally implied that Catholic objects lose their sacred meaning to become objects of nation-building, while caretakers view them as still-active objects of devotional labour. Regardless, I find that both parties view themselves as laying claim to “modern” ways of interacting with religious objects, while also assuming that a cohesive national identity rests in part on promoting a rural Catholic past. More broadly, I argue that neither side can be fully understood without attention to the convergence of three trends in the 1960s and 1970s: Quebecois and other emergent nationalisms, Catholic liberalization, and the rise of an international heritage industry.

“…Apart from this secularization of knowledge, which has now been achieved (Warren, 2014), Falardeau campaigned for the diversification of the area of study devoted to religion , that is, for the diversification of epistemological points of view and objects of study (1962). It seemed obvious to him that too few academic papers in psychology, ethnography, anthropology and in literature dealt with the field of religion, and even fewer with religious traditions other than the Catholic one.…”

This article identifies and problematizes the institutional and epistemological issues of the study of religion in Quebec. Its thesis is the unfinished foundation of the discipline that is primarily devoted to it, the social sciences of religion. The first section traces the institutional evolution of the field of study of religion in Quebec, from theology to the social sciences of religion, from faculties and departments to centers and institutes. The second section measures the progress made in the social sciences of religion since the first programs and assessments devoted to it. The authors note a growing difficulty in understanding the religion of the “center”, that of the majority of Quebecers. The third section deepens this point by drawing up a panorama of the main religious trends observed in contemporary social sciences of religions. Three related trends are identified: advanced secularization, increasing diversity and the unexpected survival of religion. In conclusion, the authors argue for the consolidation of the social sciences of religion in Quebec.
