Central European Journal of Canadian Studies

Volume 19

CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS

The Editorial Board is seeking contributions for the Central European Journal of Canadian Studies / Revue d’études canadiennes en Europe centrale. 

Articles should not exceed 15 pages (27,000 characters with notes, excluding spaces). 

We invite articles that examine any area of Canadian Studies. 

Because the Journal will be read by Canadianists from a variety of disciplines, we encourage submitters to write in a jargon-free style. This will ensure readability among both the expert and the general academic public. Use your good judgement to explain potentially alienating terminology or to avoid it altogether.

Also to encourage readability, please keep endnotes to a minimum. Instead, incorporate all relevant information into the body of your paper.

Reviews should not exceed 4 pages (7,200 characters excluding spaces). Reviews for the Central European Journal of Canadian Studies are restricted to 1) books by authors from the Central European region (in any language); 2) books by authors from outside the region that the reviewers feel are particularly useful for teaching or research purposes here; 3) translations of Canadian books that fall within the traditional domain of Canadian Studies. If in doubt, please feel free to contact us.

Reports (on activities or events in the region) should not exceed 1 page (1,800 characters excluding spaces). 

General Requirements

To facilitate the review process, make sure to have your submission pre-read by a qualified native speaker of English.

Deadline for submission: 31 January 2025

Please send your submission electronically to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..

Include “Journal 19” in the title of your e-mail.

Within a week of submitting your contribution, CEACS will send you electronic confirmation that it has been received. If you do not receive such a message of confirmation, please contact Jason Blake (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.). Again, please include “Journal 19” in the title of the e-mail.

Note: After the discussions at the CEACS General Meeting in Maribor, we have reached an agreement ensuring that individual articles in the journal will have their own DOI number.

Preparation Checklist

• Be sure that your paper has not been previously published.
• Use OpenOffice, Microsoft Word or RTF format.
• The manuscript should be in English or French
• Please include an abstract in English and French
• Use in-text citations rather than footnotes
• Keep discursive footnotes to a minimum, also in terms of length.

Each submission will be read and judged based on a blind reading by two Canadianists so as to ensure an objective decision. 

Authors will receive the results of the decision within a few weeks.

We look forward to receiving your contributions.

BACS 50TH ANNIVERSARY CONFERENCE, EDINBURGH, 24-26 APRIL 2025

‘Canada: Past, Present, Future’

Co-sponsored by the Centre of Canadian Studies, the British Association for Canadian Studies (BACS) returns to Scotland for the first time in 25 years to celebrate its 50th anniversary. This is a joint celebration, as the Centre also celebrates 50 years.

DEADLINE FOR PAPERS EXTENDED UNTIL 31 JANUARY 2025 - SEE BELOW

REGISTRATION DETAILS WILL BE CIRCULATED IN NEW YEAR

BACS 2025 explores the challenges and the opportunities facing Canada at the beginning of the 21st century. The past 50 years, for instance, have been pivotal in Canada: multiculturalism is now entrenched and a defining Canadian characteristic, sovereignty referenda in Québec have changed the political landscape, and Indigenous resurgence places Canada’s first peoples at the heart of the national conversation. More, the very real challenges of climate change for all Canadians, but most especially for Arctic peoples, and Canada’s settler-colonial legacies continue to shape contemporary realities.

With a view to exploring these, among other social, political and cultural realities, ‘Canada: Past, Present, Future’ invites reflections not only historical, but also on how Canada will move forward in the coming decades in response to challenges and opportunities – domestic, climactic and geopolitical.

Contributions from all disciplines are most welcome. We especially invite papers that engage with the following themes:

• Indigeneity and Arctic governance
• Multiculturalism, Immigration and the Post/decolonial
• Multilevel governance and federalism
• Race, ethnicity and religion
• Language Policies/Language Laws
• 2SLGBTQI+ Communities
• Families, friendships, communities
• History and knowledge practices
• Art, literature and landscape

*Canada's international relations, especially Canada-UK relations

Papers that address other themes in the study of Canada are also very welcome.

The British Journal for Canadian Studies is publishing a special issue to mark the 50th Anniversary. All presented papers will be considered for publication.

We especially encourage doctoral students and early career academics to submit. BACS will be awarding a number of prizes for original contributions from doctoral students and early career scholars. Please indicate if you wish to be considered.

Deadline for proposals: 31 January 2025. Please submit proposals of up to 250 words, or propose a panel of 3 or 4 papers, with a brief CV, to: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

30 November is the fall deadline for application for CEACS conference grants. For details see the “Grants, links,downloads”
