CFP: Ecologies, knowledge, and power in the Gulf of St. Lawrence region, c.1500-present

2025 Call for Papers

“Ecologies, knowledge, and power in the Gulf of St. Lawrence region, c.1500-present” is a SSHRC-funded collaborative project that is being co-led by Dr. Joshua MacFadyen, University of Prince Edward Island, and Dr. Erin Spinney, University of New Brunswick, Saint John. The project involves over thirty collaborating scholars and focuses on the Gulf region in its own right rather than a periphery of, or a throughfare to, other places. The project seeks to bring together a variety of scholars to ask questions about the region that are based on the premise that the Gulf of St. Lawrence constitutes a distinct spatial system which has been shaped by the marine environment.
