University of Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada, 25 May – 28 May, 2018

You are invited to submit proposals for papers to be given at the CAUTG annual meeting at the University of Regina in Regina, Saskatchewan. Papers presenting original, unpublished research on any topic or period of German-language literature, cinema, cultural studies, linguistics and language pedagogy are welcome, in English, French, or German. We also welcome proposals in related fields (e.g., history, art history, philosophy, musicology, education) provided they have German content.

You may submit a single paper or panel proposal:

1) Single paper proposals have a maximum word count of 400.

2) Panel proposals that consist of three papers on a related theme are welcome.  The panel organizer should submit a proposal explaining the theme as well as the proposals for the individual papers as a package. Panel proposals have a maximum word count of 1500. 

We especially encourage the submission of papers and panel sessions related to this year’s theme “Gathering diversities,” which “evokes the idea of bringing people together in the spirit of building community” (congress2018.ca).

A copy of your proposal should be in the hands of the program chairs no later than 15 December 2017. Late proposals will not be considered. Proposals are to be submitted electronically as a Word document or .rtf file. Because proposals are reviewed by an anonymous and blind adjudication committee, the author’s name should not appear on the proposal itself. Please include your university affiliation and contact information in the e-mail to which your proposal is attached. Decisions will be announced by mid January.

Presentation time at the conference is limited to 20 minutes per paper.  Primary sources in German should be quoted in the original.

The CAUTG meets as part of the annual Congress of the Humanities and Social Sciences of Canada, organized by the Canadian Federation for the Humanities and Social Sciences. As the largest multidisciplinary meeting in Canada, Congress hosts the meetings of dozens of scholarly associations during an 8-day period, bringing together scholars from across Canada and around the world.

Due to recent changes at the federal funding body, CAUTG does not offer travel assistance to faculty members and independent scholars. 

Seminar Graduate Students Travel Award: Graduate students selected for presentation are eligible to receive a Travel Award generously provided by the journal Seminar: A Journal of Germanic Studies.
