"Introduction to 'Walter Scott: New Interpretations'"
No full textThe Yearbook of English Studies for 2017 is dedicated to new interpretations of Walter Scott. Edited by Susan Oliver, the volume brings together fifteen essays by scholars from Australia, Europe and the Americas. These contributions represent vital and diverse directions in Scott studies, two hundred years after the celebrated ‘author of Waverley’ followed his early career as an antiquarian and poet with best-selling novels, verse dramas and a variety of prose non-fiction. The collection aims to extend our understanding of Scott’s literary works, public persona, home, onward influence as an authorial presence, and circle of associates. A conceptual framework that incorporates materialist, theoretical, textual, literary-historical and editorial approaches asks how critical enquiry into this globally influential author can most constructively move forward.
The essays are grouped in five themed sections. Beginning the volume, Section I looks into the transmission and afterlives of Scott’s writing, his persona as an author, and his home at Abbotsford. Section II is concerned with contemporary theoretical and critical approaches to Scott. The third group of essays focuses on his poetry, an area in which there is still relatively little published scholarship. In Section IV, it is Scott’s treatment of history and social conflict that provides the framework of enquiry. The concluding group of essays takes Scott criticism into the contemporary critical fields of literary geographies, island and Northern studies, antipodean studies, environmental justice and ecocriticism.
Contributors’ individual enquiries include life writing and archival research; theatre and performance; translation studies; disability studies; theories including ontology and problems relating to materialism and spirituality; the practical considerations of editing a new edition of Scott’s poetry; Scott’s representation of law; a postcolonial exploration of silence and absence; and matters relating to place, space and the natural world

"Reading Walter Scott in the Anthropocene"
No full textSusan Oliver shows how reading Scott through ecocriticism and theory reveals his relevance for twenty-first-century global crises of climate change, species loss, extinction, pollution, and large-scale human migration. Scott’s writing about changing ecologies during the age of ‘improvement’ and Scottish clearances attends to intricate damage, some of which was immediately evident and all of which was long-term. Other effects, as he showed, took place gradually, out of sight. What can we learn from Scott’s anticipation of environmental justice, land ethics and plantationocene agro-economics? Crises affecting humans and nonhumans, the local and global, the past and the future are brought into relief in this chapter
Observations and reflections of learning and teaching in a university studio art class : interview with Susan G. Scott
No full textAs a teacher of art I am constantly reflecting on effective teaching in studio art classes and the qualities that define good teaching in order to inform my own practice. The question I am investigating in this study is "What organizational and personal qualities of a teacher, as exemplified by an active artist and studio teacher at Concordia University, lead to the success of a studio art class at the University level and contribute to the essence of good teaching?" In order to answer this question I returned to Susan G. Scott's 460 level painting course, Materials and Methods of the Artist because it was as a student of hers in this course that my model of 'good teaching' began to form. Through reflective practice I re-evaluated my own learning experience in this course. Using the methods of participant observation and interview I uncovered and examined the organization of the course, the content and the pedagogical qualities of Susan G. Scott that contributed to the success of the course. The information that emerged from this study enabled me to define the essence of good teaching for me and to develop a base from which to construct my philosophy of educatio

John Paul Scott Oral History
No full textSusan Mehrtens\u27 Note:
Dr. J.P. Scott was the head of animal behavioral research at Hamilton Station. He carne to our meeting with a thoughtful outline, and spoke to it for most of our interview. His tape, as a result, is mostly a monologue. This tape is extremely valuable because Jax threw away all the records of Hamilton Station, so only the accounts of Scott, Fuller and Fox (in this project) can provide a record of this aspect of the Lab\u27s past. Scott indicates how pervasive was the network in which his work was conducted, and how many noteworthy figures or students (later to become outstanding scientists) passed through his lab between 1~45 and 1965. Whatever may have been the feelings or relationship between Scott and Earl Green, Scott is mum. His reasons for leaving Jax, he suggests, were purely personal opportunity and an eagerness to return to teaching. Others at the Lab suggest a clash between Green and Scott over the role of Hamilton Station, his rank, etc., causing Scott to leave with some measure of ill will. Certainly, once Scott left, the animal behavior work quickly wound down, which Scott notes on this tape. Scott\u27s loyalty to Hamilton Station is obvious on this tape. Handle this valuable tape with some caveats as to its objectivity. Its merits lie in the fact that it is articulate, thoughtful, and vital to a wider appreciation of the diverse roles Jax was playing.
