• Canada and the Logic of the Extractive Economy: Aesthetic, Political, Legal, Historical, Economic, and Environmental Perspectives – “Études Canadiennes/Canadian Studies” Journal, Canada – Deadline (abstract): September 1, 2026

  Posted online on July 23, 2026

  Calenda Announcement 1,413,915 (excerpts)

  The socioeconomic and environmental impacts of Canada’s extractive industries, their international ramifications, and the challenges they face in the midst of a systemic environmental crisis justify the French Association for Canadian Studies (AFEC) dedicating its 50th conference to this issue. During this conference, we will examine the logic of extraction from various perspectives in order to foster dialogue among the disciplines represented within the AFEC. We will seek to understand the extent to which the dynamics of extraction—from the forestry industry to the exploitation of fossil fuels—have transformed not only ways of life but also the diverse expectations and concerns of contemporary Canadian society.

  “Transportation & Mobility, Tourism: Degrowth, Decarbonization, Sustainable Development? ” 15th edition of the AsTRES International Multidisciplinary Conference – Lumière Lyon 2 University – Lyon – MSH Lyon-St. Etienne – November 24–27, 2026.

  The AsTRES conference aims to bring together perspectives from various disciplinary approaches to tourism. The goal of this edition is to gain a better understanding of the interactions between tourism and transportation. The aim is to better understand, from the first kilometer to the last, how tourists move and how tourism stakeholders influence their mobility. In this way, the conference will help identify avenues for public policy or best practices to enable destinations to become more sustainable and resilient, and to help tourists become more aware of the range of mobility options that make up a trip, a journey, or an act of mobility.
