Ecologies – Environments – Ethics, Emerging Scholars Colloquium, Association for Canadian Studies in German-Speaking Countries (GKS)

Grainau, Germany, 19-20 February 2022

Deadline for abstacts : 31 October 2021

Emerging Scholars Colloquium: Ongoing Research Projects Organized by the Emerging Scholars Forum

The Emerging Scholars Colloquium will offer a space for emerging scholars to share and discuss their ongoing research projects with peers and experts. Any emerging scholar from the BA to the PostDoc level working on a dissertation or a long-term research project in or with a strong emphasis on Canadian Studies is invited to submit a proposal. Besides contributions addressing the overall conference topic of ecology, environmental studies, and ethics (please find the general CFP here), we welcome any project presentations within the field of Canadian Studies.

To ensure the exchange between emerging scholars, peers and experts, the emphasis will be on the dialogue between participants and attendees. As such, we invite proposals for brief 10-minute presentations of the main ideas of your projects and key questions for the following 20-minute discussion. This extensive exchange will allow participants to gain insightful new perspectives regarding their own projects. To provide a basis for a stimulating discussion, participants are invited to pre-circulate a longer paper that allows for an in-depth look at issues that could not be addressed during their short presentations.
