Mid-Atlantic New England Council for Canadian Studies Biennial Conference
Portland Regency Hotel and Spa, Portland, ME/USA, October 20-22, 2016
The Mid-Atlantic-New England Council for Canadian Studies (MANECCS) is currently accepting papers from all academic disciplines for the 35th Anniversary Conference to be held at the Portland Regency Hotel and Spa in Portland, Maine between October 20 and 22, 2016. https://maneccs2016.wordpress.com/.
MANECCS is the premier Canadian Studies organization in the region and is affiliated with the Association for Canadian Studies in the United States (ACSUS). Over the past 35 years MANECCS has brought together scholars from across the academic disciplines and from both public and private sectors in education, business, and government. At these conferences scholars explore complex topics relevant to Canada and its position in the world; past, present, and future. The organizers have an exciting biennial conference planned for their 35th anniversary year.
This year will seek to focus specifically on urban and industrial landscapes. The organizers are especially interested in panels that deal with urbanization, sprawl, decline, reattribution, urban and industrial living and working places, urban recreation and social organization, crime and policing, and any other topic related to Canada’s industrialization and urbanization. *Proposals on other topics related to Canadian history and studies are welcome.* Papers from established scholars, emerging scholars, and graduate students are encouraged.
Please submit a 250-word paper proposal or a 500-word panel proposal no later than June 1, 2016 to Brian Payne, Associate Professor History, Bridgewater State University (email). Please keep apprised of all developments at: https://maneccs2016.wordpress.com/.
