Call for Papers

Eighth International Small Islands Conference

6-9 June 2012

Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, Canada

The Centre for Cape Breton Studies, along with the Department of History & Culture and the School of Arts & Social Science at Cape Breton University, are pleased to present a call for papers on the theme of Traveling in Time: Islands of the Past, Islands of the Future, an international conference organized in collaboration with the Small Island Cultures Research Initiative (SICRI).

In 2008, Travel + Leisure Magazine ranked Cape Breton the #1 island to visit in continental North America and #10 in the world. Condé Nast Traveler has called it the most scenic island in the world. Delegates to the ISIC 2012 conference are in for a treat when they visit this picturesque place. The culture and hospitality of Cape Breton Island is known the world over.

To make the most of your time in Cape Breton, there will be a pre‐conference tour of the world‐renowned Cabot Trail on 6 June (http://travel.nationalgeographic.com/travel/road-trips/cape-breton-nova-scotia-road-trip/).

Early-bird submission of paper or poster proposals is now open. Please submit your abstract by 1 October 2011 (which is also the deadline for consideration for a travel subsidy). Proposals submitted after this date will be considered until 15 December 2011 if space is available.

Paper proposals should include the paper title, name(s), affiliation(s), abstract and keywords. Abstracts for papers should be no more than 300 words. Please submit proposals to Henry Johnson (henry....@otago.ac.nz).

Conference registration fee: Can$150 / Can$100 concessions (students, underwaged).
