Dear colleagues and friends,
As the new year begins, we look forward to the annual meeting of the Canadian Theological Society (CTS) at McGill University in Montreal from June 17 to 19, 2024. The theme of the conference is Sustaining Shared Futures. We are meeting as part of the Congress of the Federation for the Humanities and Social Sciences.
The conference will feature a Jay Newman Memorial Lecture in the Philosophy of Religion given by Dr. Lori Beaman. There will also be opportunities for increased collaboration with the other societies that are part of the Canadian Corporation for the Study of Religion. Most importantly, the meeting is an opportunity for all of us to engage with one another’s scholarship and to support one another in our theological work, whether it is primarily situated in the church, the community, or the academy.
You are encouraged to consider submitting a proposal for a paper, panel, or artistic expression to the conference. Proposals are due on January 31, 2024. The Call for Papers is available online: http://cts-stc.ca/call-for-papers/
Proposals from graduate students are very welcome. Fiona Li, the graduate student representative on the CTS executive, has prepared a summary of funding sources available to support graduate student participation in the conference: https://uottawa-my.sharepoint.com/personal/sjohnso7_ustpaul_ca/_layouts/15/guestaccess.aspx?share=EfxcyEmg-V9IhQfq5Wt2ZRsBG6Y_O1aKF3g0LWWG52UE2Q&e=Oj6b0M
Graduate students are also encouraged to submit a paper to the Student Essay Contest. Submissions are due January 31, 2024: http://cts-stc.ca/2023/student-essay-contest-2/
On behalf of the CTS executive, very best wishes for the year ahead, and we hope to see many of you in Montreal!
Sarah Kathleen Johnson
President, Canadian Theological Society
