All Things Virtual with Prof. Roisin Cossar

Welcome to the second episode of ‘All Things History with UMHiSA!

In this episode, host Hannah Belec, speaks to Dr. Roisin Cossar, University of Manitoba Medieval History Professor and Acting-Head of the History Department. The pair discuss the experiences of students, educators, and researchers during the pandemic. What worked, what did not work, and what was learned in the virtual space is contemplated.

Other talking points include Professor Cossar's current virtual-collaborative project, with Dr. Jason Brown and student Allegra Chiarella, involving the transcription and translation of a 15th century Italian register that outlines the expulsion and interrogation of concubines by Dominican inquisitor, Fra Bartolomeo de Ferrara.
