The English-speaking Communities of Quebec are at a cross-road with regards to their demographic, linguistic, social and economic development within the only French majority society in North America. This is the first of a series of research conferences designed to take stock of the vitality and future prospects of the English-speaking communities of Quebec. This first multidisciplinary conference will provide a general overview of existing research concerning the English-speaking communities of Quebec and will seek to identify important research themes for the future including new funding opportunities. Upcoming conferences on the English-speaking communities of Quebec will focus on specific research themes such as education, health, demolinguistic issues, ethnocultural diversity, municipal affairs, social and economic development.
