Conference

Final Program, Vancouver 2019

University of British Columbia, June 1-4 2019

Conference documents:

The CLSG is greatly looking forward to welcoming you to Vancouver for our 2019 annual meeting on June 1-4. We are anticipating a rich and lively “circle of conversation” in many ways, with sessions on the Inklings’ circles of conversation, on humanism in contemporary literature, on disability and narrative, on pedagogy and hope, and on Christian ecocriticism, as well as Holly Faith Nelson’s plenary talk about what early literature has to teach us in a polarised age, poetry reading by Tim Lilburn, Susan McAslin, and Connie Braun, and our annual CSLG dinner at the historic Sylvia Hotel near Stanley Park. The final program is available here; copies will also be provided at the conference.

A reminder that all who are presenting papers need to be fully paid-up members of ACCUTE (www.accute.ca – go to the “Join ACCUTE” tab); ACCUTE offers reduced membership fees for students and part-time faculty, as well as travel funding for graduate students (apply for reimbursement after the conference). We also welcome you to renew your CLSG membership with the modest annual fee of $25 ($15 for students and part-time faculty), by completing our 2019 membership form and sending it to Tina at the address indicated.

Congress registration (separate from membership registration) is available atwww.congress2019.ca/register until May 31st, and onsite thereafter. The CLSG does not have its own conference registration; you would be completing the ACCUTE addendum to the form.  A further reminder that if you have not yet booked accommodation, you should do so as soon as possible, as Vancouver is a very popular destination. Looking forward with joy to seeing everyone in June!
