Annual Meeting of the Canadian Historical Association Call for Papers

Aug 23, 2016 | News | 0 comments

The CHA Annual Meeting will take place May 29-31, 2017 at Ryerson University in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

CALL FOR PAPERS:

From Far and Wide: The Next 150

The 150th anniversary of Confederation provides an opportunity to revisit the nation-building negotiations and agreements that shaped the Dominion of Canada, but more fundamentally it should cause us to reflect upon and reconsider the collective and the individual Canadian experience across time and place. “From Far and Wide: The Next 150” – the theme for Congress 2017 – not only recognizes the sesquicentennial moment, the theme’s first part issues a call to consider the diversity of experience, both nationally and internationally, while its second challenges us to consider where Canada and Canadian society is headed in the future. With this in mind, “From Far and Wide: The Next 150” can be adapted to historical purposes and explore a broad range of issues.

The Programme Committee for the Annual Meeting of the Canadian Historical Association invites proposals in English and in French from scholars working in any discipline, in any field, and in any era that address the conference theme. We also welcome proposals that do not specifically address the theme.

The Programme Committee invites individual paper and roundtable submissions, but strongly encourages the organization of panels aimed at generating engaging debate, submitted in one of the following two formats:

  1. A panel submission of three papers for which the Programme Committee will appoint a commentator. For these panels, papers must be submitted to the commentator in advance of the conference in order that the commentator may provide substantive remarks as a part of the panel session.

2. A panel submission of four papers, for which the Programme Committee will appoint a facilitator.

Please submit a proposal of no more than 250 words and a one-page cv to chashc2017@history.ryerson.ca

Deadline: Monday, October 17, 2016

– The Programme Committee will accept only one paper proposal per individual.

– Presenters must be members of the Canadian Historical Association and must be able to attend the conference to present their paper in person.
