Call for papers for the 48th annual international conference of the Association Française d'Études Canadiennes on the theme “Knowledge, issues, practices and prospects for young researchers in Canadian studies”.

Driven by a commitment to young research, the French Association of Canadian Studies (Association Française d'Études Canadiennes, AFEC), in partnership with Grenoble Alpes University and the Grenoble Centre for Canadian Studies (Centre d'Études Canadiennes de
Grenoble, CECG), has decided to dedicate the 48th edition of its annual conference to emerging researchers in Canadian Studies. This event is aimed at all doctoral students, post-docs and other young researchers at the start of their careers (master’s students, temporary lecturers (ATERs), young PhDs without a contract) working on the Canadian cultural area – be it Anglophone Canada, Francophone Canada, Quebec, Indigenous People – or on themes related to Canada.

To echo the 2024-2025 edition of the Seasons of Canada (Saisons du Canada) organized by the Grenoble Centre for Canadian Studies, the general theme chosen for this next congress will be “Transition(s)”. Under this broad and flexible theme, we welcome both theoretical and empirical contributions, from all disciplines – civilization, history, linguistics, literature, geography, law, sociology, political science, anthropology, arts, philosophy – reflecting the diversity of research carried out by up-and-coming researchers in Canadian Studies.
