May 18, 2023

Canada Today and Tomorrow – an online conference – Thursday 18 May 2023 (1.00pm-5.15pm, local time, Dublin)

Canada Today and Tomorrow gathers together established and emerging international scholars to reflect on a range of dimensions of research on Canada, including themes such as transitions, decolonialisation, pluri-culturalism, interculturalism, indigeneity, translations, multilingualism, the environment and migration. Speakers are drawn from a variety of countries, including Ireland, Germany, Portugal and Canada. The conference will be structured around short (15 minute) interventions whose aim is to provoke reflection and questions for wider discussion among everyone attending.

The BACS Conference will take place in-person in London from 20 to 22 April 2023.
Registration is required and tickets can be purchased via Eventbrite.

https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/bacs-conference-20-22-april-2023-tickets-524881533797

The theme of the 2023 conference is ‘Canada at home and abroad’ and papers on any aspect of Canada and the teaching and promotion of Canadian Studies are welcome, including the history, politics, literature, culture, and indigenous peoples of Canada and the individual provinces and territories within Canada. Papers that focus on Canada’s relationships with other countries, and comparisons between Canada and other countries, are also welcome.
Proposals for panels are especially welcome.
The conference will take place at Senate House, University of London, in the famous Bloomsbury district of central London. It will commence on Thursday 20 April at 2.00pm with registration and finish at 3.00pm, after the BACS AGM, on Saturday 22 April.
Unfortunately it will not be possible to include online presentations as part of the conference or to attend the conference online. But proposals for online papers and panels will be considered for the BACS-UCL online events programme that takes place throughout the year.

Conference proposals for presentations of individual papers (15-20 minutes long) or full panels (3/4 papers) should be sent to Tony McCulloch (BACS President) accompanied by an outline of each paper (100-200 words) and a brief bio of the presenter/s (100-200 words each). Any limitation on the attendance of the presenter/s should also be included so that individual and panel presentations can be timetabled on the most convenient day of the conference – either Friday 21 April or Saturday 22 April.

The initial deadline for paper proposals is Tuesday 28 February.
Early submission of panel and paper proposals is encouraged.
Proposals to be sent to: tony.mcculloch@ucl.ac.uk by 28 February (initial deadline)

It is intended to produce an initial conference programme in early March so paper proposals are requested to be sent in by 28 February. A decision on individual and panel proposals will usually be made by the conference committee within 3 days of receipt.
Proposals received after 28 February will still be considered, subject to availability of space within the programme, but preference will be given to proposals received by that date.

New publication! Maria Löschnigg: The Routledge Introduction to the Canadian Short Story (2022)

https://images.routledge.com/common/jackets/amazon/978036769/9780367696474.jpgThis volume aims to introduce undergraduates, graduates, and general readers to the diversity and richness of Canadian short story writing and to the narrative potential of short fiction in general. Addressing a wide spectrum of forms and themes, the book will familiarise readers with the development and cultural significance of Canadian short fiction from the early 19th century to the present. A strong focus will be on the rich reservoir of short fiction produced in the past four decades and the way in which it has responded to the anxieties and crises of our time. Drawing on current critical debates, each chapter will highlight the interrelations between Canadian short fiction and historical and socio-cultural developments. Case studies will zoom in on specific thematic or aesthetic issues in an exemplary manner. The Routledge Introduction to the Canadian Short Story will provide an accessible and comprehensive overview ideal for students and general readers interested in the multifaceted and thriving medium of the short story in Canada.
