Each year ESAC hosts its Annual Conference and Annual General Meeting in conjunction with the Congress of the Canadian Federation for the Humanities and Social Sciences. The Congress rotates to a different Canadian university host in a different part of the country each year. The Annual Conference is open to ESAC members and offers an opportunity for participants to share (both in a formal and informal setting) research, ideas and discussions in the field of environmental studies.
ESAC’s Annual Conference provides an opportunity for Canada’s leading and emerging environmental scholars to gather, network and share their research with one another. It differs from more ‘traditional’ academic conferences in its more interdisciplinary focus, its small, friendly and collegial setting. There are opportunities for standard research presentations, as well as openings for pre-organized panel sessions and special roundtable discussions.
Consider submitting a paper or join us as a regular participant.
