Call For Papers: CAIS 2025 - Boundaries, Borders, and Frontiers in Irish Studies
11-13 June 2025, St. Michael’s College and York University, Toronto
Deadline for proposals extended to 21 March 2025.
Boundaries, Borders, and Frontiers in Irish Studies is the theme for the Canadian Association for Irish Studies 2025 annual conference. Boundaries can be thought of in relation to the political, the historical, the artistic, the topographical, the cultural, the ecological, and so on. But even within these categories, boundaries exist at multiple scales: a national border is a political boundary, but so is a county border or even a property line. Boundaries can sometimes deny passage altogether, or they can invite imaginative forms of transgression. The notion of frontiers prompts consideration of more transitional and shifting entities.
