Conference Reading and Watching 2019

This year, we have decided to accompany our conference with a preliminary list of works provided to us by the presenters, be that literature, film and television or secondary sources. That way, if a particular presentation grabs your attention before the conference even starts, you can see what the presenter will be working with. The other way around works as well: you can always go to this page and see which works in particular will be discussed, and a presentation might then start looking as something not to be missed.

The works accompanying the discussion panel (with Dr Mark Metzler-Sawin, Dr Aritha Van Herk, Dr Tihana Klepač, and Dr Jason Hansen) are the works that the panel guide will centre the panel around. Works listed under a presenter’s name are what the presenter has sent us in advance as something they plan on using as main sources.

Furthermore, here you can find a list of panel-related films concerning Canadian culture and society, some of which will be projected at our faculty in the weeks leading up to the conference by joint efforts of our Club and the Croatian-Canadian Academic Society.
