Pour une histoire élargie des milieux universitaires au Québec : bilan exploratoire et perspectives de recherche

2026-02-16

Daniel Poitras

This exploratory review seeks to identify key themes, trends, blind spots, and potential horizons in the history of Quebec’s university settings at large, which have never been explicitly stated or treated as a whole in historiography. After discussing this historiography’s three founding subfields (the history of science, the history of institutions, and the history of students), we invite readers to adopt a broad view of university settings at large, which are not limited to the physical locations typically associated with them, particularly administrative offices, departments, schools, and faculties. This would in fact be one of the features of this history, characterized by a considerable expansion of its scope, with university settings at large finding themselves in a favorable light when taken out of their own context and approached from different perspectives (urban, national, international). This approach invites exploring of university milieux actors (institutional or individual) and their ideas, projects or initiatives in relation to the spaces, entities or groups they are connected to outside the university. This exploratory review ultimately seeks to inspire further work by suggesting new avenues of research.

Les milieux universitaires québécois dans les relations sino-canadiennes. Le rôle des émotions dans les circulations transnationales (1968-1980)

Yuxi Liu

This article explores the emotional dimension of Quebec universities’ involvement in relations between Canada and the People’s Republic of China during the 1960s and 1970s. It demonstrates how these academic institutions created a space allowing various actors to engage in intellectual, political, cultural, and emotional dialogues with China, while also enabling them to express sentiments related to broader social transformations

Référentiels des politiques publiques qui conditionnent l'évolution et le développement de l'université au Québec (1960-2025)

2026-02-16

Jean Bernatchez

Universities in Quebec are constantly evolving and developing in response to the issues and challenges that arise over time. Between 1960 and 2025, they underwent a multitude of transformations drove by profound changes. What ideas are driving these transformations? The cognitive and normative approach to public policy analysis provides answers to this question because it emphasizes the dimension of ideas, as reflected in the concept of a “reference framework.” Between 1960 and 1981, the welfare state promoted the preservation of the Republic of Science reference framework at universities. From 1981 onwards, the facilitator state encouraged the deployment of the Knowledge Economy reference framework. Since 2008, the Global Efficiency reference framework has characterized Quebec universities, given the dematerialization of public policy and the questioning of the ability of states to regulate sectors through national policies.
