The delivery of the paper will not form part of the assessment but candidates for the award must attend and deliver the paper at the conference.
The prize for the best paper will be awarded at the conference dinner. In addition, the paper will automatically be considered for publication in the British Journal of Canadian Studies providing that it has not been submitted elsewhere.
The prize will consist of £100 in book tokens
Early career scholar is defined as: a PhD student; anyone within 3 years of having been awarded a PhD; anyone who has a full-time appointment at a recognised higher education institution, but has not held the post for more than 3 years and does not fall into the doctoral category.

Canadian WW1 Out of the Trenches project
Library and Archives Canada launch Out of the Trenches: A Linked Open Data Project video
Produced by the Pan-Canadian Documentary Heritage Network, the video highlights new work in mapping archive collections across Canada. It uses multimedia to showcase records and photographs and includes some examples of individual soldier's life stories, recreated using primary source materials.
Partners of the Pan-Canadian Documentary Heritage Network (PCDHN) have developed a "proof-of-concept" to showcase a sampling of the network's wealth of digital resources using "linked open data" and principles of the semantic web. The underlying premise is to expose the metadata for these resources using RDF/XML and existing/published ontologies (element sets) and vocabularies, maximizing discovery by a broad user community.
The partners selected the First World War as the topic for the digital resources to be contributed to the proof-of-concept. The metadata for these digital resources was provided by five partner institutions.
Archives Canada also has an older site with war diaries and archives records which you can search.

Americas through a lens - National Archives photographs
You can now view hundreds of Americas photos from the National Archives CO 1069 collection online. They capture scenes from Canada to Belize, Trinidad to the South Shetland Isles, and span more than 100 years.
The images are from the Colonial Office's Photographic Collection and include some of the earliest known photographic depictions of Canada dating back to the 1850s. Some of the images have accompanying background information to give them context, but many do not.
The photographs have been uploaded to the photo-sharing website Flickr so that you can tag and contribute comments and suggestions to help improve the descriptions.
The latest online release of pictures from the Colonial Office collection follows the successful launch last year of Africa through a lens - an online showcase for the African images in the collection. The project was inspired by Project Naming, a Library and Archives Canada (LAC) initiative to help identify Inuit portrayed in its own photographic collection.

EU-Canada Study Tour and Internship Programme 2012 – “Thinking Canada”
EU-Canada Study Tour and Internship Programme 2012 – “Thinking Canada”
“Thinking Canada” is a joint initiative of the European Network for Canadian Studies and the European Commission – a four-week study tour to Canada for European students that will take place from 2 - 30 September 2012, followed by two-month internships for selected participants. The tour to Canada commences with three days of briefings in Brussels on the EU and EU-Canada relations.
The aim of the study tour is to offer its participants a unique in-depth experience of Canada through an intensive programme of visits to major private and public institutions, government bodies, think tanks and NGOs. At each place, the students will receive briefings and have the opportunity to exchange views with representatives of these bodies, many of them leading experts in their fields. The tour will begin in Brussels, and travel to Ottawa, Québec, Montréal, Toronto, Vancouver and Victoria.
This immersion in Canada will offer a unique opportunity for an academic experience in a non-academic setting. The tour is focused on a number of themes, in particular cultural diversity (including the English/French relationship, the First Nations and multiculturalism), political issues (federalism, regionalism, the role of government), the environment (including Arctic issues), urban issues and economic topics (business, finance, trade). EU-Canada relations will also be covered and provide a recurring backdrop to the discussions. Academic advisors will be accompanying the tour to serve as resource persons and provide feedback.
In addition to the tour, nine two-month internships will be offered to participants immediately following the end of the tour.
For further information on the tour, its programme, internships, cost and how to apply, see the tour’s website at http://www.thinking-canada.eu/
Deadline for applications: Monday 30 April 2012

All articles will be sent to two anonymous reviewers in July 2012 and successful ones will be published, subject to amendments, in October 2012. Articles should be 5,000-10,000 words in length and include endnotes and a bibliography. The house style can be seen by accessing the journal via the LoCSA website.
The current volume of the London Journal (Volume 26, published October 2011, guest editor: Tracie Scott) is entitled 'Indigenous Peoples: Historical Understanding, Contemporary Challenges and Canadian Approaches' and resulted from a conference organised by the Aboriginal Studies Circle in London in October 2009.
Articles are welcome from established academics, early careerists and doctoral students. The journal is now in its 27th year and its articles have frequently been submitted to the RAE. Submissions should be made in the form of a Word document to the editor, Dr Tony McCulloch by 13 July 2012.

Canadiana Discovery Portal
Canadiana Discovery Portal http://search.canadiana.ca/
Now out of beta, the Canadiana Discovery Portal is a free service that enables users to search across the valuable and diverse digital collections of Canada’s libraries, museums and archives. It provides access to a wealth of digital material such as books, journals, newspapers, government documents, photographs, maps, post cards, sheet music, audio and video files about Canadian heritage.
New content and media types are being added to the Canadiana Discovery Portal. The current contributors to the Portal include some of Canada’s largest libraries, archives, and museums.
The Bibliothèque et Archives nationales du Québec, Calgary Public Library, Foreign Affairs & International Trade Canada - Affaires étrangères et Commerce international Canada (DFAIT), Library and Archives Canada - Bibliothèque et Archives Canada (LAC), the National Gallery of Canada, Scholars Portal/University of Toronto, Toronto Public Library, University of Alberta, University of British Columbia, University of Saskatchewan, University of Victoria, and Vancouver Public Library are amongst the current contributors
Content includes such material as: images of cities, towns and other scenery in Alberta, dating from 1900 to the modern era, a collection of DFAIT Press releases and Statements and Speeches from 1949 to 1995, a rich archive of Manitoba newspapers, with issues dating back to the late 19th century, the Chinese Times daily newspaper, published in Vancouver from 1914 to 1992, the Peel's Prairie Provinces collection (containing an online bibliography of books, pamphlets and other materials related to the development of the Prairies, as well as a searchable full-text collection of many of these items), the British Columbia History Digital Collections, containing historical images, diaries, books, newspapers, audio and video recordings, manuscripts and other publications, and metadata of a collection of approximately 7,000 Colonial Despatches of Vancouver Island and British Columbia from the period 1846-1871.
To indicate the breadth of information available, sample searches produce (as of today) 13710 results for "elections", 65 results for "tar sands", and 6960 results for "New Zealand".
Sample topics demonstrated include: 20th Century aboriginal-government relations, Ontario genealogy, War of 1812 campaigns, Ontario and the environment and vegetable gardening.

British Library Scholarship PhD Project: Narratives and depictions of slaves and former slaves in Canada: 1800 - 1900
British Library Scholarship PhD Project
Narratives and depictions of slaves and former slaves in Canada: 1800 - 1900
Supervisors: Dr Jane Hodson (School of English Literature, Language and Linguistics) and Dr Philip Hatfield (British Library)
The British Library Scholarships arise from the special relationship the University has with the British Library. They support projects that draw significantly on both the holdings and expertise of the British Library.
Project description
The aim of this research project is to explore narratives which describe experiences of slavery which took place in Canada. Canada has a positive popular reputation regarding slavery, being seen as one of the safest end points of a journey via the ‘underground railroad’. However, it also has a darker history, having witnessed both the enslavement of many Native Americans and the use of African origin slaves prior to abolition. A significant body of nineteenth-century literature by and about slaves and former slaves in Canada exists but it has been poorly researched, not least because it has often been overshadowed by American slave narratives (Clarke, 2005).
This project will work from the British Library collections to develop a database of Canadian slave narratives. The database will record information about the authoring, editing and publication of the narratives, plus a brief description and classification of the contents. Particular attention will be paid to the way in which the slave's voice, experience and perspective are handled.
The database will then be used to explore both what might be specifically Canadian about these narratives, and how these narratives relate to wider social, literary and political networks. This is of particular significance as it seems that some Caribbean narratives, such as that of Mary Prince, were sponsored and edited by prominent Canadian literary figures, in Prince’s case Susanna Moodie.
The project aims to address some of the following questions:
• To what extent do Canadian slave narratives constitute a specifically Canadian experience/depiction of slavery?
• How do these Canadian narratives connect to other nineteenth century discourses about slavery?
• In particular, how do these Canadian narratives align with key American and Caribbean narratives such as The History of Mary Prince (1831)?
Relevant Library Holdings
The British Library provides a uniquely centralised resource for considering the representation of slaves, former slaves and their narratives in Canada. The British Library collections hold the vast majority of texts published in North America which bear reference to African slave experiences. Materials published in Canada are extensively present in either original form (some of which are very rare) or reproductions. Further, and very significantly, the Library holds an extensive collection of newspapers from eastern Canada running from the mid 18th century. It has been noted that the majority of slave narratives (especially early ones) published in Canada would have been in these papers, as opposed to in monographs, and that this area requires more critical attention (Clarke, 2005).
Award details
The scholarship will cover the cost of UK/EU tuition fees and provides an annual, tax-free maintenance stipend at the standard Research Council rate (£13,590 in 2011-12). The recipient will also receive a Research Training Support Grant of £500 per year. International applicants will need to pay the difference between the UK/EU and Overseas tuition fees.
Eligibility
• Academic requirements – applicants should have, or expect to achieve, a first or upper second class UK honours degree or equivalent qualifications gained outside the UK in an appropriate area of study.
• Allowed study options – applicants should be registering on their first year of study with the University for 2012-13.
• Residency restrictions – awards are open to UK, EU and international applicants.
How to apply
• Applicants are advised to contact both supervisors (Jane Hodson j.hodson@sheffield.ac.uk; Philip Hatfield Philip.Hatfield@bl.uk) to discuss their application in the first instance.
• Complete an application for admission as a postgraduate student - http://www.sheffield.ac.uk/postgraduate/research/apply
• On the application form please state you are applying for this project and briefly outline (in less than 500 words) your reasons for doing so.
Applicants may be asked to attend an interview.
Closing date 3 February 2012.

CFP: Contemporary Developments in Aboriginal Issues - 1st February 2012, University of Leeds, Centre for Canadian Studies
Contemporary Developments in Aboriginal Issues
British Association of Canadian Studies' Aboriginal Studies Circle
at the University of Leeds Centre for Canadian Studies, Leeds (UK)
1st February 2012
The British Association of Canadian Studies is pleased to announce a one day colloquium of its Aboriginal Studies Circle. Many diverse indigenous populations around the globe have been the victims of marginalization as they confront the vast array of issues resulting from both historical injustices and contemporary global challenges. This colloquium seeks to bring together academics and other professionals with an interest in indigenous studies to discuss the broad issues that affect indigenous peoples both in Canada and elsewhere. Through building an interdisciplinary network, it is hoped that discussions of the challenges facing indigenous peoples can be drawn from the periphery of contemporary political, social, cultural, and legal discourses and brought into the mainstream.
Keynote Speakers:
• Prof. Joy Hendry (Anthropology, Oxford Brookes University)
• Dr. Colin Samson (Sociology, University of Essex)
• Dr. David Stirrup (Literature, University of Kent)
• Dr. Roy Todd (Sociology, University of Leeds)
Call for Papers:
Proposals for 20-minute papers, to be presented in either English or French, are invited from any single disciplinary or multidisciplinary perspective including those which offer an informed view of Canada in comparative contexts. Broader possible approaches might include papers on:
* Indigenous peoples and a new history?
* Methodological and theoretical approaches.
* Self-determination and indigenous politics.
* Indigenous economic self-sufficiency.
* Indigenous law/ law and Indigenous peoples.
* Indigenous resource management & land claims.
* Environmental pressures on indigenous populations
* Indigenous languages.
* Indigenous health.
* Visual culture/film & Indigenous literature, art & culture.
This should not, however, be taken as an exhaustive list, and we welcome proposals for papers dealing with all varied interpretations of the theme.
Email abstract(s) of 200-300 words; and brief CV(s) (must include title, institutional affiliation & address(es) by 30 November 2011.
The Idea Exchange:
The Idea Exchange Session will consist of individuals at a table who are willing to spend 5 minutes to share experiences of something they are passionate about in terms of research or teaching and learning. Like a 'show and tell' but with a small group of people (2/3 max) sat a table listening to how you use a research or teaching and learning methodology/software/hardware/resource and giving them the chance to sign up/have a go/ask questions. We hope to have as many Idea Exchanges as possible running concurrently during this Session so as to maximise coverage and allow people to personalise their teaching, learning and research. This is an ideal opportunity for people who do not wish to present a full conference paper to share something that they are particularly passionate about and to gain constructive feedback. If you wish to sign-up to present an idea then you will be acting as a facilitator in order to get people engaged and familiar with your topic within 5 minutes - think guide on the side rather than sage on the stage! To register to present an idea exchanges please send a title for your session to the e-mail address below.
Registration: You can register to attend the colloquium as an audience member.

Canada-European Union Free Trade Agreement Conference - 18 November 2011
Canada-European Union Free Trade Agreement Conference
Macdonald House, Grosvenor Square, London, UK
18 November 2011
Since 2009, diplomats from Canada and the European Union have been in negotiations to produce a comprehensive trade agreement known as CETA. For people in the EU, the agreement would provide improved access to the Canadian market, a relatively small but prosperous country. For Canadians, CETA is perhaps even more important, for it provides alternatives to export dependency on the United States.
On 17 October, the ninth and final round of negotiations began. It is now a good time for academics to discuss the agreement and its implications for Canadians and Europeans. A small conference about CETA has been organized. It will take place at Macdonald House in London, UK on 18 November. [Nearest Tube Station: Bond Street]
Programme: Canada-EU Trade Agreement Conference
1pm Brian Parrot, Minister Counsellor (Commercial and Economic), Canadian High Commission. Welcome statement.
1:10pm Alan Hallsworth, Portsmouth Business School, and Tim Rooth, University of Portsmouth (40 minutes plus 10 minutes for discussion). "Historical Perspectives on CETA"
2:00pm Malcolm Fairbrother, Lecturer in Global Policy and Politics, University of Bristol. "Canadian Trade Policies from the FTA to the CETA: Myths and Facts" (20 minutes for presentation, 10 minutes for Q&A)
2:30pm Andrew Smith, Coventry University. "Applying the Concepts of Cultural Distance and Imagined Communities to Understanding Canadian Economic Diplomacy" (20 minutes for presentation, 10 minutes for Q&A)
3:00pm COFFEE BREAK
3:15pm Robert Hage, (retired Canadian diplomat), "Changing Canada: the Canada-EU Free Trade Agreement." (20 minutes for presentation, 10 minutes for Q&A)
