UCalgary Call for Proposals: 2026 Conference on Postsecondary Learning and Teaching

[Natasha Kenny]

Dear Colleagues, 

We are thrilled to announce the call for proposals for the Conference on Postsecondary Learning and Teaching. This year’s conference theme is: From Disruption to Connection: Digital Transformation in Postsecondary Education

April 28 – 30, 2026

The 2026 University of Calgary Conference on Postsecondary Learning and Teaching invites faculty, staff, students, and postdoctoral scholars to explore digital transformation in postsecondary education. Whether it’s GenAI, teaching methods, or pedagogical shifts, there is incredible opportunity for postsecondary education to spark innovation and ingenuity in educational practices, communities, and systems. Through the exploration of eleven threads, this fully in-person conference will provide you with a unique opportunity to connect, share, and exchange knowledge across three days of interactive sessions, presentations, and more.

Submit your proposal by Jan. 9, 2026.

We look forward to connecting with you!  Feel free to forward this email onto your networks.

Warmly, 

 

Natasha Kenny and D’Arcy Norman (Conference Co-Chairs)

The University of Calgary, located in the heart of Southern Alberta, both acknowledges and pays tribute to the traditional territories of the peoples of Treaty 7, which include the Blackfoot Confederacy (comprised of the Siksika, the Piikani, and the Kainai First Nations), the Tsuut’ina First Nation, and the Stoney Nakoda (including Chiniki, Bearspaw, and Goodstoney First Nations). The City of Calgary is also home to the Métis Nation of Alberta Calgary Nose Hill and Calgary Elbow.

 

The University of Calgary is situated on land Northwest of where the Bow River meets the Elbow River, a site traditionally known as Moh’kins’tsis to the Blackfoot, Wîchîspa to the Stoney Nakoda, and Guts’ists’i to the Tsuut’ina. On this land and in this place we strive to learn together, walk together, and grow together “in a good way.”
