CALL FOR PAPERS - CANADA COLLOQUIUM: "CONTEMPORARY CHALLENGES TO DEMOCRACY AND DEMOCRATIC INSTITUTIONS"
In partnership with the Center for the Study of Canada at the State University of New York College at Plattsburgh, the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa, and the Canadian Consulate in San Francisco, Fulbright Canada is pleased to announce the fourth in our Canada Colloquium series. These scholarly colloquia address critical contemporary social, political, and economic issues relevant to Canada, the United States, and the international community.
This iteration of the colloquium, Contemporary Challenges to Democracy and Democratic Institutions, will feature an open town hall meeting that includes students, professionals, officials, and the interested public, at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa on the evening of October 25th. The authors’ workshop, designed to produce an edited volume, will occur on campus on October 26th and 27th.
We enthusiastically invite submissions for scholarly papers from various perspectives, from doctoral candidates, junior academics, established scholars, and working professionals across the international community. The deadline for proposals is July 15, 2023.
Our 2023 colloquium examines various issues relating to the contemporary challenges to democracy and democratic institutions. These challenges include, but are not limited to, political polarization, threats to multi-ethnic democracies, economic inequality, the growing maldistribution of wealth and income, democratic discontent, and the rise of populism. The colloquium organizers are especially interested in scholarship that examines whether creative institutional reforms can address some of these challenges. In addition, we are particularly interested in how these challenges affect Canada and the United States while, at the same time, recognizing the importance of critical comparative analysis.
Please see the Canada Colloquium website for more information about the proposal process and details about the colloquium. Remember to send your submission to CanadaColloquium4@fulbright.ca by July 15, 2023.
We trust that you will agree that this is an exciting initiative. Please contact us at CanadaColloquium4@fulbright.ca with any inquiries.
