Canadian Federation for the Humanities and Social Sciences (Congress 2009) runs from May 23 through May 31, 2009.
The theme of Congress 2009 will be “Capital Connections: nation, terroir, territoire.” This theme invites an exploration of identity, in part on the basis of physical space – the space of a people, a nation, their historic “terroir”, and the role of a “capital” in determining how those are defined. It asks the question, among others: has globalization produced a sea-change in our understanding of the relationship between place and who we are? And it also pertains to our changing understanding and ownership of intellectual territory: the space of and between traditional disciplines across the broad domain of the human sciences.
