Atlantic Canada Studies Conference

May 11 – 14, 2022, University of New Brunswick, Ekwpahak | Fredericton, NB/Canada

Deadline: November 15, 2021

UNB’s Atlantic Canada Studies Centre cordially invites submissions of paper and panel proposals for the 2022 Atlantic Canada Studies Conference. With the suspension of the 2020 ACSC in Maine, and continued disruptions caused by the COVID-19 Pandemic, this ACSC will blend papers/panels from the 2020 programme with new ones received and accepted in response to this call.

No history can accurately be called marginal history, but frequently nation-centered histories diminish the significance of stories and knowledge that do not fit within larger chronologies and have long pushed them to the wayside of conventional historical narratives. This marginality contributes to the violent colonial erasures of Indigenous Peoples, Blacks, and other minority groups within Canadian History. It also contributes to the isolation of the Atlantic Region, within the study of Canada and North America writ-large, as well as the Atlantic World, despite innovative and world-leading scholarship that demonstrates the connectivity and significance of this region within larger geographical frames. Yet stories of innovation and adaption are at the heart of Atlantic Canada, for example the Peace and Friendship Treaties, and are shared by the many peoples that make up this place and its past. Atlantic Canada’s success in flattening the curve of COVID-19 is just the most recent example of that legacy adaptation and innovation and reminds us that it is not, nor has it ever been, a margin of Canadian History.
