Ottawa: A Capital City. CALL FOR PROPOSALS

CALL FOR PROPOSALS

21st ACSUS Biennial Conference

November 16-20, 2011

The Westin, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada


The Association for Canadian Studies in the United States (ACSUS) welcomes
proposals

for papers, roundtables, workshops and poster presentations at its 21th
Biennial meeting

to be held in Ottawa, Ontario, November 16-20, 2011. ACSUS is a
multidisciplinary

organization that seeks to encourage the study of Canada and U.S.-Canadian
relations.

We welcome submissions from academics and professionals in the fields of the

humanities, social sciences, business, education and the natural and life
sciences. The

theme for this biennial is "Ottawa: A Capital City" and affords
participants
to explore a

host of sub themes associated with the city's function as the capital of
Canada.


All proposals should have a distinctive Canadian focus, but we also
encourage submissions

that consider Canada in a comparative context. We are particularly
interested in

receiving submissions that examine Canada within a Western Hemispheric or
global

setting. Proposals that seek to explore contemporary issues of concern such
as borders,

migration, trade, technology, the environment and education are especially
welcomed.

The conference will take place at the Westin in the heart of the city and
close to

Parliament Hill, the National Gallery and the Byward market area.. We
anticipate a high

level of interest in the Ottawa Biennial so we encourage you to submit your
proposal in a

timely fashion.


Conference Sections include: Anthropology, Sociology and First Nations;
Arts-Visual

and Performing; Business, Trade and Economics; Gender, Identity and
Diversity;

Geography, Resources, Environment; History; Border Issues and Migration;
Foreign

Policy and Defense; Literature in English; Literature in French; Politics
and Public

Policy; The North; Quebec and the French Presence in North America;
