NACS-XIII 2021: ‘From far and wide’: Cultures, memories and identities in Canada

 

In collaboration with the Canadian Studies Centre at Aarhus University, the Nordic Association for Canadian Studies (NACS) is organizing its thirteenth Nordic international, cross-disciplinary Canadian Studies conference. Due to the restrictions in place due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the conference has been postponed from August 2021 to August 2022. The theme of the conference – From far and wide’ – should be understood very broadly and can be taken literally or metaphorically. Our aim is to bring together scholars studying Canada at all career stages. Our association operates across the five Nordic countries, but we welcome paper proposals from anyone working on Canada in the Nordic countries, elsewhere in Europe, in North America and anywhere in the world.

The deadline for the first call for papers has passed; however, we will be issuing a second call later in 2021. Information about the second call and about the conference more generally can be found at the conference website: NACS 2021 (au.dk). Inquiries can also be sent to the following e-mail: NACS2021@cc.au.dk

Poster (PDF)

How and why does diversity have a positive impact on revenue and productivity in Cana­dian workplaces? Can the Canadian experi­ence with diversity be replicated in ether na­tional settings? Join us to hear Canadian scholars Bessma Momani and Jillian Stirk discuss these and eth­er questions as they present the findings of their study Diversity Dividend Canada's Global Advantage (published by the Centre for Inter­national Governance Innovation, Waterloo, Canada, and The Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foun­dation, 2017). Following their presentation, Momani and Stirk will be joined by a group of AU academics in a Q & A session focussing on how the findings and recommendations of this Canadian study could be understood and applied in the Dan­ish context. All are welcome. Refreshments will be served. Sponsored by the Canadian Studies Centre (Dept. of English, School of Communiciation and Culture, Aarhus University) and the Em­bassy of Canada in Copenhagen, Denmark.
