We invite scholars in all disciplines to explore this theme. We welcome panels, sessions and individual papers in the traditional areas of BC Studies. We especially encourage our colleagues in fields as diverse as water quality, agriculture, forestry, tourism, ecology, immigration, and land use to submit proposals related to broadly defined community sustainability issues in B C. Other colleagues may consider examining directions in BC's social, health, industrial, and environmental policy. Further, studies from, and about First Nations' communities are particularly encouraged. Finally, proposals that place British Columbia within transnational or comparative contexts are welcome.
Panels and sessions: Proposals should include a short description (150 words) of the theme for the panel or session, as well as abstracts for any papers and the academic or professional affiliation for each participant. While we strongly encourage panel and session proposals, the committee reserves the right to rearrange them.
Deadline: March 31, 2011
Papers: Individual paper proposals should include an abstract (150 words maximum) and the academic or professional affiliation of the proposer.
Deadline: March 31, 2011
Posters: The conference will also organize a poster session. Proposals for posters should indicate the theme and should include the academic or professional affiliation of the proposer.
Deadline: March 31, 2011
