2022 IUS Canada Conference: Call for Papers
The 2022 IUS Canada Conference will be held at Carleton University in Ottawa, Ontario from October 21-23. We welcome papers or organized panels that address the key themes of interest to the IUS Fellows in support of emerging scholarly research dealing with the military establishment and civil-military relations.
Papers in all areas touching on defence and security in national and international contexts are eagerly solicited. To advance Equity, Diversity and Inclusion in scholarly and military professional discourse, we particularly encourage submissions that bring new academic, cultural or regional perspectives to broaden analytic frameworks and professional perspectives on defence and security. We therefore, wish to encourage submissions representing the full range of academic disciplines as well as those providing organized presentations on lived experiences in the military and societies.
Submission Guidelines:
Panel submissions (3-4 papers) are very welcome, and every effort will be made to group individually submitted papers into relevant panels.
Submissions from graduate students who wish to be considered for the Franklin Pinch Award for best Graduate Student Paper should be clearly identified as such.
Authors submitting presentations independently should indicate “individual presentation submission” in their proposal. For both individual papers and panel submissions, please provide a 250 word abstract for each paper and complete contact information for each presenting author. Panel proposals should also include a 250 word abstract for the overall panel focus. Panel proposals and individual presentation submissions must be received no later than June 30, 2022 by the programme chair (Dr. Vanessa Brown: vanessa.brown@cfc.dnd.ca).
Selection decisions will be communicated to presenting authors on or before August 1, 2022.
Please note that the location for this year’s IUS Canada conference has been shifted to allow for maximum flexibility in accommodation choices for participants and to ensure optimal health measures are in place during conference proceedings. The intent is to hold the conference in person with capacity to adjust for appropriate personal health measures as required.
We look forward to seeing you in Ottawa in October!
