Bergpolder and Liskwartier and are the subject of international scientific research. The Dutch-Canadian doctoral student Jennifer Long (30) studied the social life in the public space in the densely populated area of Rotterdam-Noord. Her thoughts: "There are many people living on a very small area. I am surprised and proud that things go on so well"; so started the opening headline of this newspaper article about recently returned UWO PhD candidate, Jennifer Long. Long spent last year in Rotterdam, Netherlands studying how the larger social and political narratives concerning belonging to the imagined community of the Netherlands, affected relations between and amongst individuals at the everyday level. Placing herself within one of the diverse neighbourhoods of Rotterdam North, Long found out firsthand how people deal with larger ideas of integration, immigration and belonging in one’s society. Although the results are not out yet, Long will return to her site this May in order to present some of her preliminary findings to the community. Long says that It will be a great way to ‘face the music’ and have my participants have their own say in the research. Click HERE for full article.

They highlighted the importance of the nearby Devonian fossil beds and the many surface features, such as old abandoned lake shores, representing the late ice age history of the region. They also stressed the fact the area is known province and Canada wide, and even internationally, for the discovery of a number of Ontario’s oldest known archaeological sites (13,000 years old) and the earliest (4000-4500 years old) evidence of a more settled way of life amongst Ontario’s First Nations peoples including one site that has yielded remnants of the oldest houses ever found in Ontario.
