Canada: Jewish studies conference call for papers

The Association for Canadian Jewish Studies annual conference has issued a call for papers for the event to be held May 24-26, 2009, at Carleton University, Ottowa. The conference provides a platform for original scholarly research in Canadian Jewish history, life and culture.

Potential presenters are asked to submit an abstract, 400-500 words in length, by January 7, 2009. Abstracts - to be reviewed anonymously - should state the main argument of the paper.
