"Border – Borderlands – Borderline: Spaces of Encounters in Canadian Studies"

Our conference aims at exploring the issue of borders in Canadian culture in general and in particular. We look forward to contributions from all academic disciplines that address concepts, realities and perceptions of borders in relation to Canadian culture and life. It is meant to provide young scholars in the field of Canadian Studies with an opportunity to present their current research to peers, to engage in discussion and exchange – and to further expand their academic networks. Please send your abstract in English or French (max. 200 words) and a short biography (100 words) until November 21, 2011 to nachwuchsforum@gmail.com.
