L’American Council for Québec Studies sollicite des propositions de communication pour notre prochain colloque en 2018. Si le thème choisi se prête à des approches diverses, tant en sciences sociales qu’en arts et lettres, nous cherchons à souligner l’importance de la multiplicité des relations qui marquent, forment, et enrichissent les Amériques françaises et francophones. Nous sommes particulièrement heureux de nous réunir à la Nouvelle-Orléans alors qu’elle fête son 300e anniversaire, ville riche en carrefours qui sont également témoins de multiples transformations, transferts, et identifications.
Nous invitons des propositions individuelles aussi bien que des sessions complètes sur tout sujet lié aux études québécoises. Veuillez consulter notre site web (www.acqs.org) pour plus de précisions sur le colloque en général ainsi que sur sa série de sessions importantes qui s’organisent autour du thème La Louisiane francophone et ses relations internationales. //
The 21st biennial conference of the ACQS
The American Council for Québec Studies invites proposals for papers and panels for our upcoming conference in November 2018. If the conference theme is open to a wide range of approaches across the Social Sciences and Humanities, our hope is to underscore the multiplicities of the relations that mark, form, and enrich the French and Francophone Americas. We are particularly pleased to host our convention in the city of New Orleans as it celebrates ist 300th anniversary as a site of crossroads that are witness to multiple transformations, transfers, and identifications.
We welcome and will consider proposals related to any aspect of Québec studies. Submissions of both individual papers and complete panels are encouraged. Please consult our website (www.acqs.org) for more details on the conference as well as on the mini-colloquium focused on Francophone Louisiana’s International Relations to be held within it.
For further details, please consult the complete CfP.
Deadline for Submissions: April 1, 2018.

Any topic pertaining to the history of some portion of this region or of the American West is appropriate, but the editor looks especially for something new in the way of scholarship or some new analysis of an old topic. Essays that are strictly anthropological, economic, architectural, or otherwise specialized will not be considered, nor will pieces that focus on current events, but interdisciplinary treatments are welcome, and comparative studies particularly so. There is no minimum or maximum page length for submissions; 25-30 double-spaced pages of text are usual. Documentation must be prepared as endnotes rather than footnotes or bibliography, and it too must be double-spaced. Authors should submit photocopies of possible illustrative materials along with the manuscript; depending upon the subject matter and available space in the issue, up to ten or a dozen photographs, maps, documents, or other visual records of historical relevance may be used, and all materials lent will be returned.
Every manuscript submitted to PNQ gets an initial reading from the faculty editor, a professor of history at the University of Washington. He then sends it out anonymously to two expert readers for evaluation. The refereeing process can be long; the expert readers take on this unpaid work on their own time, and they usually need a month, or even two, to read, consider, and write their commentaries. When the referees’ reports are in, the managing editor makes his decision to reject the manuscript outright or to guide the author in revising the essay. When the author submits his revised manuscript, it goes back to one or both of the referees for review, and if the evaluations are positive, the managing editor accepts the essay. Scheduling usually occurs within six months; during the course of production, authors will be expected to review copyediting and correct galley proofs. In lieu of pay, they receive copies of the issue in which their work appears.
Please send submissions to: Managing Editor, Pacific Northwest Quarterly, University of Washington, P.O. Box 353587, Seattle, WA 98195-3587 or email pnq@u.washington.edu.
