1.
ARCS - The American Review of Canadian Studies is a refereed,
multidisciplinary, quarterly journal. Published by the Association for
Canadian Studies in the United States. In 2009, ACSUS partnered with
Routledge (now affiliated with the Taylor and Francis group), a
distinguished publisher at the forefront of academic publishing. The
partnership significantly raised the visibility and accessibility of ARCS.
The global community has access to valuable research tools and
resources given that the entire archive of the ARCS journal is available
on-line in a digitized, searchable platform. All issues of ARCS are now
available in both print and E-ditions. ARCS has continued to improve
its profile in the academic community and to publish first-rate peerreviewed research in the field of Canadian Studies. It is edited by
Professor David Rossiter and the editorial offices are located at
Western Washington University in Bellingham, WA.
2.
Quebec Winter Lecture - ACSUS partnered with Johns Hopkins SAIS
and the Raoul Dandurand Chair of Strategic and Diplomatic Studies of
UQAM to present a public lecture on November 11, 2013 by former
Quebec Premier Pierre Marc Johnson. Mr. Johnson offered an
assessment of the “Canada-EU Trade Treaty.” Pierre Marc Johnson,
former Premier of Quebec and chief negotiator for the Government of
Quebec in the Comprehensive Economic Trade Agreement between
Canada and the European Union.
3.
ACSUS Biennial Conference - The major activity in 2013 was the
ACSUS Biennial Conference, “Canada in the Hemisphere”, held in
Tampa, Florida, November 19-23. This 5 day conference featured
more than one hundred roundtables, panels, and plenaries across 12
disciplines, featuring the foremost experts on Canada and Canada-US
relations from academia, the policy and government community, as
well as esteemed writers and artists. Public officials from various levels
of government, and Canada’s most recognized policy experts and
cultural figures attended the event. While the biennials are
multidisciplinary, the January 2014 twentieth anniversary of NAFTA
encouraged us to emphasize the trilateral agreement in the 21st
biennial conference. To that end, we partnered with the Association of
Canadian Studies in Mexico (AMEC) and the Canadian Studies
Network in Canada, as well as University of Southern Florida, to bring
off a first-class conference. Approximately 280 scholars registered as
participants at the meeting. As in previous years, the Government of
Canada and the Governmetn of the Province of Quebec sponsored
highly successful and well-attended plenary evening receptions which
featured remarks by the Consul General of Canada in Miami, Madame
Louise Leger, and Jean-Stéphane Bernard, Assistant Deputy Minister,
Bilateral Affairs, Ministère des Relations internationales, de la
Francophonie et du Commerce extérieur du Québec.
4.
A plenary Quebec Authors’ Session featured presentations by Denise
Boucher, Gaetan Brulotte, Louise Dupré, and Madeleine Monette. It
was organized and moderated by then-ACSUS President Myrna
Delson-Karan, Queens College/CUNY. ACSUS essay awards for
undergraduate students went to students who wrote on Quebec-related
topics. The Jeanne Kissner Undergraduate Essay Award in the
Humanities went to Olivia George of Georgetown University in
Washington, for an essay entitled “Women's Wor(l)ds in the Quebec
Novel." This paper was written entirely in French. The Martin Lubin
Undergratuate Essay in the Social Sciences went to Nicholas Van
Tulder of the University of Washington for a research essay entitled
“Québec Total: Creating a Unifying Vision for Northern Development
(Un Plan Pour Tous).”

BRITISH ASSOCIATION FOR CANADIAN STUDIES
2014

The British Association for Canadian Studies was ably led during the academic
year 2013-14 by Dr Steve Hewitt, University of Birmingham, who retired from his
three-year term as President in April 2014. The new BACS President is Dr Tony
McCulloch, Senior Fellow in North American Studies at the UCL Institute of the
Americas (UCL-IA). The BACS Office will be located at the UCL-IA, 51 Gordon
Square, London, WC1H OPN, for the duration of his term of office and will
therefore be well positioned in relation to major stake-holders such as Canada
House, the Quebec Government Office, the Foreign and Commonwealth Office,
the Eccles Centre for North American Studies at the British Library, the CanadaUK Council and the Foundation for Canadian Studies, which is the main funding
body for Canadian Studies in the UK.
The BACS Council held three main meetings - in September 2013, January 2014
and April 2014 - at Macdonald House as well as members of the Council being in
regular contact via email, Skype and on the fringes of other Canada-related
events. The BACS President and other Council members represented BACS and
the Canadian Studies community in the UK at other Canada-related events both
locally and internationally. BACS also enjoyed a very good working relationship
with the main University centres of Canadian Studies within the UK at Belfast,
Birmingham, Edinburgh, Leeds, Nottingham and the UCL Institute of the
Americas and with regional associations such as the London Canadian Studies
Association and the Yorkshire Network for Canadian Studies.
The 39th annual BACS conference was held at the British Library conference
centre, Euston Road, London, on 25 and 26 April and was preceded on 24 April
by a keynote speech by General John de Chastelain and a reception at the
Official Residence of the Canadian High Commissioner in Grosvenor Square.
The conference – which was on the theme ‘Warrior or Peacemaker: War, Peace
and the Struggle for Canada’s Identity, 1914-2014’ - attracted several other
distinguished plenary speakers as well as a large number of presenters from
Canada, the US, the UK and the rest of Europe. Attendance was about 120,
many of whom were postgraduate students or early career scholars. The BACS
Council is grateful to the Foundation for its support in funding the conference and
to Professor Phil Davies of the Eccles Centre in North American Studies for
agreeing to host it.
6) Publications
The BJCS was edited by Dr Danielle Fuller (Birmingham University) and Dr Ceri
Morgan (Keele University) in this period and produced two issues – Vol. 26.1, a
general issue edited by Danielle Fuller and Ceri Morgan, and Vol. 26.2, a themed
issue entitled Canadian Literary Studies in the 21st Century, guest edited by
Fiona Tolan, Catherine Bates and Gillian Roberts. The BJCS contract with
Liverpool University Press was renewed in April 2013 for 5 years. BJCS is now
included in the Project Muse collection of journals which is a leading provider of
digital humanities and social science content. This should significantly increase
the visibility of the journal. Another very positive development is an agreement
that LUP has established with the Canadian Historical Association which will offer
individuals a subscription to BJCS when they take up or renew their membership
with the CHA.
The Michael J Hellyer prize for the best paper by a student or early career
scholar at the conference was awarded to Tyler Turek from Western University
for his paper on the period between the First and Second World Wars. The Prix
du Québec for faculty was awarded to Dr Ceri Morgan (Keele University) and, for
students, to Gillian Lacey (University of Northumbria). An Eccles Visiting
Fellowship at the British Library was awarded to Dr Martin Thornton (University of
Leeds).
Much of the research activity involving BACS members – including those who are
members of the Council – is undertaken via the various Specialist Groups such
as those concerned with Business, History and Politics, Indigenous Studies,
Francophone Studies, Law and Literature. For example, the BACS History and
Politics Group holds an annual summer conference which in July 2014 will take
place at the UCL Institute of the Americas from Thursday 10 to Saturday 12 July
and will be devoted to ‘New Voices on Canada’. There will be 22 presentations
from students, post-doctoral researchers and junior faculty from all over Europe
and a selection of the best papers will be published as a special issue of the
BJCS in September 2015, co-edited by Dr Chris Kirkey of SUNY (Plattsburgh)
and Dr Tony McCulloch of the UCL Institute of the Americas whose organisations
are also sponsoring the event.
The 40th anniversary BACS conference will be held at the British Library
conference centre, Euston Road, London from 23 to 25 April 2015.

GKS furthermore disseminates information and knowledge about
Canada/Canadian Studies by means of:
• A monthly newsletter that contains calls for papers/calls for
contributions, recent publications on topics pertaining to
Canada/Canadian Studies, and other noteworthy aspects such as
news from ICCS and ENCS.
• An annual status report that lists all publications, lectures, lecture
series, conferences, information about ongoing and finished research
projects, as well as about courses offered during the academic year. It
is also available for non-members at www.kanadastudien.org/publikationen/mitteilungsheft
• A trilingual website that is frequently updated in order to inform
members and non-members about GKS’ activities as well as about
activities in Canadian Studies by partner organizations and nonmembers. The website is available in English, French, and German so
that it now caters to a more international audience.
The websites of the Young Scholars’ Forum and the Teachers’ Forum. These
websites contain general information like calls for papers but also special
material catering specifically to teachers and young scholars:

Traditionally, GKS is a multi- and interdisciplinary institution, uniting scientists
from various disciplines and academic backgrounds. Given the importance of
Canada in the German high-school system (Canada being the country of
reference for the A-level exams) one rather recent trend is the increasing
inclusion of teacher-training research.
At present, there are a number of Canadianist projects. Please see the

ACSANZ supported a range of exciting events and initiatives in 2013 including
hosting visiting scholars from Canada in both Australia and New Zealand. The
calendar of events is disseminated by regular meetings of the ACSANZ
Executive, through the Association website and through emails to ACSANZ
members. The Executive continue to prioritise the implementation and
assessment of applications for the ACSANZ Postgraduate Travel Grant and the
provision (upon application) of a small number of bursaries to support Canadian
studies activities in Australia and New Zealand including workshops or visiting
scholars' keynotes. Following a general meeting of the Executive in January,
2014, it was decided to extend our support of Canadianist scholars to include
both postgraduates and established scholars in order to encourage further
research and networking within Canada.

6) Publications
Australasian Canadian Studies is an international, multidisciplinary journal of
Canadian studies. It is the official journal of the Association for Canadian Studies
in Australia and New Zealand (ACSANZ). ACS has, since its founding in 1983,
provided a forum for a diverse body of scholarship. ACS remains committed to
mentoring established and emerging scholars in comparative Australian,
Canadian and New Zealand Studies. The ACS Editorial Board provides
invaluable input, critique and suggestions to Canadianists around the world. A
special issue of the journal was published in Dec 2012, titled the Rebellion issue.
It was guest edited by esteemed board member Dr John Carter. (Vol 29 1-2,
2011). The ACS 30:1 issue is in press and a general publication. In order to
increase our international base we will align future Calls for Papers (CFP) for
special editions of the journal ACS in 2014 and 2015 with current DFATD
priorities. We are targeting issues surrounding the Arctic (2014) and for 2015, the
commemoration of key battles and other moments of WW1 (the 100 year
anniversary of start of WW1is 2014 and the battle at Gallipoli, 2015).
Our students are gaining international acclaim and the journal's profile is being
raised internationally, primarily through the networking efforts of the Editor and
the Executive. We will continue to promote PG scholarship in Canadian studies
with our successful Postgraduate Research Grant, and with established scholars
through small bursaries to support visiting scholars or workshops. We are
committed to examining new ways to link ACSANZ with academic activities in
order to promote an even stronger multidisciplinary understanding of Canada
through events, workshops and visiting scholar programs.
Our member’s area of research is multidisciplinary and this is reflected in the
articles published in our flagship journal Australasian Canadian Studies. Articles
published more recently in ACS analysed issues have related to: issues of
immigration, citizenship, gender, sexuality, Indigenous Land Rights, environment
and history. Our individual members publish widely across peer-reviewed
Australian and international journals on areas of Canadian and comparative
Canadian, New Zealand and Australian studies.

As announced in the annual report for the reporting period 2012-2013, the
ACSN was forced to downscale its activities drastically. The size of the
Executive Board was reduced to 3 members and the number of board
meetings was restricted. ACSN continued its support of the EU-Canada
Study Tour and Internship Programme, "Thinking Canada". This is in line
with the highest priority given by ACSN to the support of student exchange
now that DFAIT scholarship programs do not exist anymore.
As a result of lack of funds for administrative and organizational
undertakings, activities during the 2013-2014 reporting year were therefore
extremely limited and restricted to :
• 3 executive board meetings
• financial support of the EU-Canada Study Tour and Internship
Programme 2013, "Thinking Canada"
• Participation in the EU-Canada Study Tour and Internship Programme
2013, "Thinking Canada", 1-29 September 2013: Mrs. Jantine Bresser
(Radboud University, Nijmegen).
• Collaboration with the Netherlands Department of Foreign Affairs i.e.
participation (dr. C. Remie) in the briefing of the new Dutch
Ambassador to Canada, His Excellency Cees Kole who replaced
former ambassador Wim Geerts in September 2013
• Preparation of visit to the new Dutch ambassador in Ottawa, Cees
Kole, by ICCS vice-president Development Danny Ben Natan for
purposes of sponsorship.
• Participation (dr. C. Remie) in the Workshop “From Pole to Pole” held
at the State Museum of Ethnology, Leiden, March 15, 2014. Meeting
with Mrs. Louise Flaherty, Director Inuit Language & Culture Programs
of the Nunavut Arctic College, Iqaluit, Nunavut, to explore future
cooperation.
• Participation in the 38th meeting of the European Network for Canada
Studies in Brussels (dr. C. Remie, drs. I. Salverda)
• Regular consultation with representatives of the Canadian Embassy at
the Hague.
• Regular updating of the ACSN website (drs. I. Salverda)

Until May 2012 PACS offered programs allowing support for research trips
within Poland and abroad, and for conference participation. The programs,
however, were suspended due to Canadian government’s decision to cease
financial support of Understanding Canada Program (incl. financial
contribution to PACS budget). The list of suspended programs:
Conference grants - allow to cover travel expenses for Canadianists
(PACS members) who attend conferences outside Poland or do their
research in European libraries. The grants are offered yearly in two rounds.
Library grants - allow a partial cover of travel expenses and
accommodation for undergraduate, graduate and postgraduate students as
well as for other scholars (PACS members) who plan to do their research in
the libraries of Canadian Studies Centres in Poland.
Lecture tours by Polish and foreign professors, and invited Canadian
artists. All tours are co-financed by receiving universities and PACS. One of
the objectives is to enable Polish students studying Canadian topics to
participate in lectures of Canadian scholars.
The only grant we offer on a regular yearly basis is:
Nancy Burke Best M.A. Thesis Award – This PACS Award is designed to
promote each year an outstanding M.A. thesis on a Canadian topic written
in Poland (in either Polish, French or English), and which contributes to a
better understanding of Canada in Poland. The award is consistent with the
ICCS's strategy of fostering a new generation of Canadianists.

Literature is the dominant discipline. History and social sciences are also
well-represented. Among PACS members one can find experts in Canadian
theatre, cinema and media, Native issues (history, culture, literature, etc.),
environmental issues, Canadian history and literature (both French and
English), political sciences, linguistics, sociology, culture and identity
studies, gender and immigration studies. PACS members are not only
established scholars, but also PhD and graduate students, who constitute a
majority of Polish Canadianists. Some members come from other countries
like Ukraine, Romania, France or Canada. Due to PACS’s status as a nonprofit association, the possibilities of financial development are quite limited.
The annual grant received from Foreign Affairs Canada allowed PACS to
support the majority of its activities, which had to be suspended due to the
budget cuts introduced by the Canadian government in May 2012. The
whole budget now comes from the membership fees, which allows for
running a strictly limited number of PACS own programs (see point 7
above). PACS also promotes grants and programs offered by ICCS-CIEC
(Postdoctoral Fellowships, Graduate Student Scholarships). Despite the
limited budget, within a few months the seventh issue of Polish Journal of
Canadian Studies TransCanadiana will be published. We are planning to
work on the further diversification of PACS activities and encourage new
members and disciplines.
