<p class="p1"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black">The Association for Canadian Studies in the United States will hold its biennial conference in Montreal in November 2019. This multi-disciplinary conference welcomes proposals on
<u>topics with a significant Canadian focus, including comparative inquiries,</u> from graduate students, independent scholars, professors, and practitioners. As the co-chair of the section “Literature, Film, Music, and the Arts in English”, I write to encourage
you to consider <u>proposing a paper or a panel</u> in theatre and/or performance studies. (NB: “Literature, Film, Music and the Arts in French” is chaired by Prof Katherine Roberts of Wilfrid Laurier University - karoberts@wlu.ca</span><span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black"> )</span></span><span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="color:black">
