CFP Colloque en Études Canadiennes / Canadian Studies Colloquium (Zoom)

Thursday, November 16, 2023 on Zoom

Deadline: July 15 (BA/MA) / October 15, 2023 (PhD/Postdoc)

Organized by the Emerging Scholars Forum of the Association for Canadian Studies in German-Speaking Countries (GKS)

The Canadian Studies Colloquium offers an online platform for emerging scholars to share and discuss their ongoing research projects with peers and experts in the field. We welcome proposals from scholars at the BA to Postdoc level who are working on research projects with a strong focus on Canadian Studies. Whether you would like to address theory, methodology or content of your ongoing research, all research aspects and angles are welcome. Your submission can be work in progress on a final BA or MA thesis, an early draft of a PhD project proposal, an excerpt from a (planned) dissertation chapter, or any other research project you are currently working on. Disciplines can include, but are not limited to, Language, Literature and Culture in Anglophone and Francophone Canada, Women*, Gender and Queer Studies, Geography and Economics, History, Political Science, Sociology, and Indigenous and Cultural Studies. We also encourage transdisciplinary and comparative perspectives that work on the Americas with a clear connection to Canada.

To facilitate dialogue and exchange, participants are invited to circulate a project draft in advance (1-2 pages for BA and MA projects, max. 5 pages for PhD and Postdoc projects) outlining the main ideas of their project. During the online colloquium, presenters will have the chance to frame their projects and raise questions in a brief presentation, followed by an in-depth discussion. This extensive exchange will hopefully allow participants to gain insightful new perspectives regarding their own projects.

The Canadian Studies Colloquium will take place online and welcomes international scholars.

If you are a BA or MA scholar interested in participating, please submit your project draft in English, French or German to alisa.preusser[at]uni-potsdam.de and florian.wagner[at]uni-jena.de by October 15, 2023.
