ACSUS 2017 Biennial Conference Call for Proposals

Celebrating Canada's Sesquicentennial Journey

October 18-21, 2017
Tuscany Suites and Casino, Las Vegas, NV

2017 marks the 150th anniversary of Confederation. All over the world those who have Canadian roots or interests will be pausing to reflect on the challenges and achievements the country has experienced over its growth and maturation.  As usual, the 24th Biennial conference of the Association for Canadian Studies in the United States (ACSUS) will welcome papers and panel proposals from graduate students and academics on any aspect of the Canadian experience. But we especially encourage papers that take stock of some aspect of the country’s development since 1867, and we will join with others around the world in making Canada’s Sesquicentennial journey the central theme of our meeting.

The deadline for paper proposals is March 15. The registration fee for ACSUS members is $200 before June 15 and $250 after June 15. The registration fee for non-members is $320 and that non-member fee will include a two-year ACSUS membership.

Please direct your proposals to the appropriate section head(s) as listed below.  If you have doubts as to the most appropriate placement, kindly send your proposal to the Program Chair, James T. McHugh –  mchugh at uakron.edu<mailto:mchugh at uakron.edu>.
