Program of the 2007 Annual Meeting of the Canadian Theological Society

Annual Meeting
Canadian Theological Society/Société théologique canadienne
University of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon
27-29 May 2007

The theme of this year’s Congress of the Humanities and Social Sciences is

Bridging Communities: Making Knowledge Public, Making Public Knowledge

University of Saskatchewan President, Peter MacKinnon, writes: “Scholarly and public communities are becoming increasingly connected. All are navigating the complexities of globalization, genetic innovation, medical advances, digital culture and national identities. Our hope is that this Congress will shed light on the roles, responsibilities and intentions of humanists and social scientists in the evolving relationship between the academy and the public.” The theme of the Congress is intended to stimulate discussion, debate, and exchange across a wide-ranging variety of perspectives and against the background of disciplinary, multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary research and scholarship. The University is celebrating its 100th anniversary and intends to feature cultural events that will place special emphasis on women, equity issues and Saskatchewan’s Aboriginal heritage.
