CONFERENCECALL FOR PAPERS - 2011 CONFERENCE(French text follows) Individuals are invited to send proposals for learned paper presentations twenty minutes in length that concern some aspect of the Canadian Jewish experience. With a Congress 2011 theme of Coasts and Continents: Exploring peoples and places, proposals that touch upon Canadian Jewish intercultural and transnational connections are encouraged. Potential presenters are asked to submit a paper proposal by Wednesday, December 15, 2010. The paper proposal should comprise a 400-word abstract formulated to clearly and concisely state the main argument of the scholarly paper and indicate how it will contribute to existing scholarship in the field of Canadian Jewish Studies. It should also include a bibliography of relevant sources. The abstract should be sent as a .doc or .rtf attachment, double-spaced in Times New Roman font, with the paper title clearly indicated at the top. The name, affiliation, address, telephone number and e-mail of the potential presenter as well as the title of the proposed paper should be located in the body of the e-mail only (and not in the attached abstract). All proposals will receive anonymous peer review, after which point communication with presenters will occur by February 1, 2011. All presenters must be paid 2011 members of ACJS at the time that proposals are submitted. Proposals from individuals who are not 2011 members of ACJS will not be reviewed. Membership information for ACJS can be found on our Web site. Partial financial support to defray travel and accommodation costs is available for presenters who have been members of the ACJS for at least one full calendar year prior to January 2011 (i.e. presenters must be in good standing for both 2010 and 2011 in order to be eligible for support). University students are exempt from this requirement, and are also eligible for additional top-up support. In all cases, because ACJS support funds are limited, presenters (including students) are expected to apply first to their host institutions for whatever funds may be available to them locally. Applications for financial support, which will be sent to eligible presenters along with the notice of acceptance of their paper proposal, will be due the first week of March, with results to be communicated by the end of March. The best student paper of the conference will be granted the Marcia Koven Award, which is accompanied by a cash prize. The award, which is based on the oral presentation of the paper, will be granted based on the scholarly quality of the paper and its contribution to the field of Canadian Jewish Studies. As the ACJS annual conference is part of the larger national conference body called the Congress of the Humanities and Social Sciences, ACJS conference participants whose paper proposals have been accepted must register in advance for the Congress by paying the required fees for both the general Congress registration and the ACJS conference registration. Early bird registration rates are available before April 1, 2011. Participants will receive details on registration from the Program Chair and are also invited to consult the Congress 2011 Web site for details. Please note that presentations from individuals who have not pre-registered for the Congress and ACJS Conference will not be included in the Conference Program. Please e-mail proposals to Prof. Rebecca Margolis, Program Chair.
