Call for Papers

45th Annual Conference, British Association for Canadian Studies

Canada and International Orders

Centre of Canadian Studies, University of Edinburgh, 23-25 April 2020

Co-sponsored by the Centre of Canadian Studies, BACS returns to Scotland for the first time in 20 years. Much has changed, not least the international order. ‚Canada and the International Order‘ will, therefore, be the orienting theme for BACS 2020, with papers addressing the relationship between Scotland and Canada especially welcome.
Canada has existed within international orders, whether during pre-colonization, under French and British rule or as a nation-state. In the twentieth century Canadian governments negotiated a distinct course during the cold war’s geopolitical stand off, and are doing so again in the twenty-first century’s unravelling of the previous order. BACS 2020 explores both the challenges posed by successive international orders to Canada, as well as the distinctive contributions that Canada has made in shaping these orders.

Contributions from all disciplines are most welcome. We especially invite papers that engage with the following themes:

  • The British Empire and the Commonwealth
  • La Francophonie and Quebec’s external relations
  • ‚Sleeping with an elephant‘: Canada and the United States
  • Human rights, LGBTQ2 rights and feminist international assistance
  • United Nations and Peacekeeping
  • lndigeneity and Arctic governance
  • Immigration and the Post/decolonial

Papers that address other themes in the study of Canada are also very welcome.

Deadline for proposals: 18 November 2019; details on how to submit individual and panel proposals: https://britishassociationforcanadianstudies.org/conference/

Nik Nanos Leads “Advancing Canada Coalition” to restore funding for Canadian Studies

Noted Canadian pollster and market researcher Nik Nanos has initiated a public effort to encourage the Government of Canada to restore funding for Canadian Studies around the world. These funds were abruptly terminated in May 2012 by the Government of Stephen Harper.

Nanos has enlisted a blue-ribbon Steering Committee to support this effort. Members include Margaret Atwood, Graeme Gibson, Jane Urquhart, Lawrence Hill, John English, Robert Bothwell, Margaret MacMillan, Laura Dawson, Alain-G. Gagnon, and Senator Peter Boehm.

CfP: Journal of the Austrian Association for American Studies: General Call for Submissions

The Journal of the Austrian Association for American Studies (JAAAS) is a peer-reviewed gold open access journal.

  • Are you looking for a peer-reviewed outlet to publish your cutting-edge research article in American Studies?
  • Would like to put the spotlight on your current project in the form of a short essay?
  • Do you want to write reviews about the latest or perhaps overlooked publications in American Studies and thus help bring them to the attention of your peers?
  • Would you like to expand your experience as a peer reviewer?

Consider the newly inaugurated JAAAS: Journal of the Austrian Association for American Studies as your venue. JAAAS seeks to create an interdisciplinary space for debate on all aspects of American culture and functions as a forum for both Americanists in Austria and Europe as well as in the global academic community. Published twice a year (spring and fall), the journal welcomes submissions on a wide range of topics, aiming to broaden the multi- and interdisciplinary study of American cultures. The journal welcomes contributions in American cultural and literary studies from inter- and transnational as well as European perspectives that deal with all aspects of American culture and society including history, music, politics, sociology, geography, ecocriticism, race, ethnicity, sexuality, gender, age, class, law, technology, and (digital) media.

JAAAS invites the following types of contributions:

1) Research Articles (double-blind peer-reviewed) are essays that engage in theoretical, practical, pedagogical, and/or historical analysis. The article—including endnotes and citations—should be between 5,000 and 9,000 words.

2) Short Essays (double-blind peer-reviewed) discuss a novel and innovative topic, address new and emergent ideas, engage critically with scholarly controversies, and/or introduce emergent approaches in a concise manner. These pieces test new disciplinary trajectories. The word limit for these pieces is 3,000 words.

3) Reviews (editorial review) are critical essays that evaluate academic books and other sources/materials relevant for American Studies, and are 1,000 to 2,500 words, including endnotes and citations. If you would like to write a review, please contact our reviews editor, Joshua Parker.

JAAAS aims to publish open as well as thematic issues. While our thematic issues usually emerge from the annual meetings of the Austrian Association for American Studies, we also seek submissions to open issues. JAAAS is supported by the Austrian Association for American Studies (AAAS) and hosted by the University of Graz, Austria.
