CALL FOR PROPOSALS

21st ACSUS Biennial Conference

November 16-20, 2011

The Westin, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada

 

The Association for Canadian Studies in the United States (ACSUS)
welcomes proposals

for papers, roundtables, workshops and poster presentations at its 21th
Biennial meeting

to be held in Ottawa, Ontario, November 16-20, 2011. ACSUS is a
multidisciplinary

organization that seeks to encourage the study of Canada and
U.S.-Canadian relations.

We welcome submissions from academics and professionals in the fields of
the

humanities, social sciences, business, education and the natural and
life sciences. The

theme for this biennial is "Ottawa: A Capital City" and affords
participants to explore a

host of sub themes associated with the city's function as the capital of
Canada. 

 

All proposals should have a distinctive Canadian focus, but we also
encourage submissions

that consider Canada in a comparative context. We are particularly
interested in

receiving submissions that examine Canada within a Western Hemispheric
or global

setting. Proposals that seek to explore contemporary issues of concern
such as borders,

migration, trade, technology, the environment and education are
especially welcomed.

The conference will take place at the Westin in the heart of the city
and close to

Parliament Hill, the National Gallery and the Byward market area.. We
anticipate a high

level of interest in the Ottawa Biennial so we encourage you to submit
your proposal in a

timely fashion.

 

Conference Sections include: Anthropology, Sociology and First Nations;

and Performing; Business, Trade and Economics; Gender, Identity and
Diversity;

Policy; The North; Quebec and the French Presence in North America;
