Congress 2010: Connected Understanding
May 28 to June 4
Throughout the downtown campus
Congress 2010 is the largest annual multidisciplinary academic gathering in Canada. Organized by the Canadian Federation for the Humanities and Social Sciences, and hosted at Concordia University, this gathering will bring together more than 9 000 delegates from over 70 universities from across Canada.
The Congress theme is Connected Understanding/le savoir branché. Delegates will be discussing and exploring such issues as the impact of connections with digital technology on research in the humanities and social sciences; the connections that researchers make across disciplinary boundaries and with audiences of various types; and the connections that can be created between researchers and the larger community.
Concordia has put together a series of events under the title Branché : the Concordia Connection. These include a day-long series of activities related to human rights, gallery exhibitions, presentations and performances, a film festival featuring Montreal, “comprovisational” musical journeys, public conversations, and an interactive creative display of university-based research activities.
