ACCUTE – Welcome

The Association of Canadian College and University Teachers of English (ACCUTE) promotes the study of English language, literatures, and other cultural material in a global context in Canadian colleges and universities. ACCUTE was founded in 1957 and held the first annual conference in 1958.

ACCUTE Membership includes access to the annual conference, travel support for students, contract faculty and underwaged scholars, and a subscription to the scholarly journal ESC: English Studies in Canada.

ACCUTE continues to seek ways to support member communication and engagement. Our quarterly newsletter, The Angle, is a member-driven publication that stimulates discussion and showcases creative work from both established and emerging writers. The Annual General Meeting of 2021 saw the passing of the ACCUTE Equity Statement, the establishment of the Creative Writing Collective, and an updating of the ACCUTE Bylaws. In 2023, ACCUTE elected a new Member-at-Large to represent the BIPOC caucus.

ACCUTE’s annual conference features nationally and internationally recognized scholars and students from a range of periods, topics, and methodologies of English studies.  Our programs include sessions on professional and pedagogical concerns, as well as joint sessions with other scholarly associations. This conference takes place at the annual meeting of the Congress of the Humanities and Social Sciences and includes close to 100 scholarly and professional associations.

York University recognizes that treaty history is foundational, and it is our collective
responsibility to honour the land, as we honour and respect those who have gone before us,
those who are here and those who have yet to come.

First Nations peoples have lived on this part of Turtle Island for millennia, stewarding the land, the water and all that contributes to life in this region. Today, the culture and presence of First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples enrich the lands and people of this territory.

More than two centuries ago, the Mississauga people welcomed settlers to this territory, providing sustenance and engaging in trade and commerce.

Today, York University campuses are located on the Toronto Purchase Treaty No. 13 lands and territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation and the lands of the Anishinabek of the Williams Treaties First Nations. Our campuses are also situated on the traditional territories of the Wendat and the Haudenosaunee.

Treaty history is foundational, and it is our collective responsibility to honour the land, as we honour and respect those who have gone before us, those who are here and those who have yet to come. We are grateful for the opportunity to be learning, working and thriving on this land, and we commit to learn the truth and be active in the process of reconciliation.Learn more about York University’s land acknowledgements for each of its three campuses.
