Congress 2021 GOES VIRTUAL MAY 27 – June 4!

The ACCUTE Board, in partnership with the Federation for the Humanities and Social Sciences and the University of Alberta, is working hard to transform Canada’s largest academic conference into a virtual gathering that is engaging, equitable and accessible. Please join us at Congress 2021, where we have the opportunity to make history — together, while apart.

Registration will begin in January 2021. For more information, please visit congress2021.ca.

Papers and panels that were accepted for Congress 2020 (Western) have been invited to Congress 2021 (Edmonton). There will be no additional Calls for Papers. In order to be included in the adapted conference model, it was necessary to confirm with the organizers by October 15th, 2020. If you missed this deadline, please contact info.accute@gmail.com.

About the Congress of the Humanities and Social Sciences 

Organized by the Federation for the Humanities and Social Sciences, Congress is the largest academic gathering in Canada, and one of the largest in the world. Now in its 90th year, Congress brings together approximately 70 academic associations that represent a rich spectrum of disciplines in the humanities and social sciences, including literature, history, theatre, film studies, education, music, sociology, geography, social work and many others.

Congress 2021 is organized in partnership with the University of Alberta in Edmonton. The theme for this year’s Congress is “Northern Relations”.
