The purpose of this international conference is to identify and understand innovative heritage possibilities for the future of convents, monasteries, and -- more generally -- religious houses in Quebec, the rest of Canada, and Western society. By comparing cases and putting them in theoretical, historical, and geographical perspective, we hope to make a contribution to what these urban and rural architectural groupings become. We thus aim to examine specific ways of implementing the proposals and studies conducted in Quebec and to share these experiences in order to identify and explore, but mostly, to help solve some of the problems raised in Western societies.
To this end, the conference will attempt to bring together researchers, professionals and decision-makers from North America and Europe, who have shown particular ability to assess or implement new and original solutions, or who, through historical or epistemological reflections on the problems arising in the secularization, conversion, or governance of former religious houses, are able to contribute to a discussion of the financial, legal, urban planning or memorial implications of changes in the vocation of religious houses and their redevelopment.
Interested researchers and professionals are invited to submit a participation proposal before February 28 2009. Submissions, including an abstract (title and 300-word description) and brief summary, are to be sent to the attention of:
