Founded in 1975 in the wake of Canada’s official ratification of multiculturalism, the Association for Canadian and Québec Literatures has, over more than 45 years, emerged as Canada’s premier association for showcasing multilingual and transnational research in Canadian and Québec literatures. 

As last year’s scheduled conference on “Sustaining shared futures” at Congress at McGill University was cancelled, the ACQL is proposing this year to host an ONLINE CONFERENCE between Friday, May 23rd and Sunday, May 25th

While we understand the value of in-person gatherings, the ACQL hopes that this virtual meeting will allow greater participation, reduce our environmental impact, and allow participants whose talks were previously accepted to present their research. 

Conference Fees and ACQL Membership 

  • There are no conference fees. Participation does, however, require up-to-date ACQL membership. 
  • Members from ACQL (April 1st 2023-March 30th 2024) are not required to renew memberships in order to present in 2025. 
  • Those who are not registered as members and who wish to present must become members before the Online conference.
