Great news: For the first time ever, the Congress of the Humanities and Social Science will take place at the University of Regina, from May 26 to June 1, 2018.
What is Congress?
Congress is organized by the Federation for the Humanities and Social Sciences and hosted by a different Canadian university each year. The Federation, host university, scholarly associations and partners develop a full week of presentations, workshops, panels, public lectures, cultural events and receptions.
