Connecting people, ideas, and disciplines at Congress 2022
By Laura Salter, Federation’s Digital Communications Officer
"The opportunity to connect with one’s peers at Congress is certainly a highlight of any academic conference – but the chance to step outside of one’s own area of expertise sets Congress apart. Because where else could a student of philosophy dive into the world of Canadian cinema? Or a history scholar step into a session on micro-aggressions in higher education? Or an expert on international development learn from scholars of open access and education technology? Congress is a place to connect – not just people, but disciplines and ideas." Read more.
