COUNCIL FOR THE AMERICAS MEETING--CS PANELS

All-- I am hoping to organize at least three panels for the Council for the America's meetings in January.  They will be focused on Canadian Studies.  One might  be for students, one might focus on historical and historical. If there is an interest, perhaps we could also have a fourth panel just on language, literature, ICT or other aspects of CS.   If you would like to be on a panel devoted specifically to Canadian Studies, or have students who would like to participate, please let me know.  The Council for the Americas Information is below, for those of you who have not yet received it. If you would like to be on a specific CS panel with one of the above mentioned themes, let me know and we can write up a proposal.
