CALL FOR PRESENTATIONS
THE SEVENTH BIENNIAL MAPLE LEAF AND EAGLE CONFERENCE ON NORTH AMERICAN STUDIES
WILL BE HELD AT THE UNIVERSITY OF HELSINKI, FINLAND, FROM WEDNESDAY, MAY
13, TO FRIDAY, MAY 15, 1998, WITH THE FOLLOWING THEME:
MIGRATION, PRESERVATION, AND CHANGE
The Maple Leaf and Eagle Conference on North American Studies has been
organized by the North American Studies Program at the Renvall Institute
for Area and Cultural Studies since 1986. It has since become one of the
largest conferences in Europe for American and Canadian Studies.
The conference committee will be looking for presentations in any field of
North American Studies relating to the wide conference theme. We are
especially interested in presentations on the following topics:
- how migration and preservation have shaped domestic and foreign policies,
language, literature, thoughts, and ideologies in North America;
- migration of humans and other organisms between North America and other
continents;
- preservation of different human cultures and the natural world;
- the relationship between migration/preservation and artistic expression;
- the contribution of the dynamics of migration to the preservation and
change of ethnicity;
- theory and methodology of North American Studies
Participants are encouraged to summarize their findings orally rather than
read a paper. Those interested in participating and giving a presentation
at the conference should submit an abstract (max. 400 words) with a short
CV to the Conference Committee Organizer by November 30, 1997. Entries by
e-mail are preferred.
