The organizing committee of the 10th National Student Conference on Northern Studies releases the second call for abstracts for the conference to be held November 1-3, 2012 at UQAT’s Val-d’Or campus, Quebec, Canada.

We encourage students in northern studies from all disciplines (humanities and social sciences, health sciences, and natural sciences and engineering) to submit a proposal for an oral presentation or a poster. The theme of the conference is “Nikan*: the future of the North”.

For further information about the conference, please visit our website: http://www.uqat.ca/sce2012/.

Please note that the proposals should be send  by e-mail to sce2012@uqat.ca before March 2, 2012.

 * Nikan means “the future, go forward” in the Anicinape (Algonquin) language. By using this term in the conference title, we want to underline that the conference will take place on Anicinape territory and that aboriginal social and cultural issues will have a prominent place.
