About
Members of the CESA Executive and Board have primarily come from various parts of Canada. There were exceptions for the Executive when in the 2000s the members were located in Calgary and Winnipeg respectively. In 2012 the CES Journal Office moved back to the University of Calgary after being located at the University of Manitoba for a six year period.
Journal
When you become a CESA member you will receive a subscription to Canadian Ethnic Studies/Études ethniques au Canada, a journal published three times a year. The Journal includes scholarly articles, research notes, book reviews, and bibliographic information in both English and French.
Conference Postponement Announcement
Dear CESA Colleagues and Friends,
Due to unprecedented circumstances relating to the novel coronavirus we have decided that it would be in everybody’s best interest to postpone the 26th Canadian Ethnic Studies Association Biennial Conference, originally scheduled for this October 2020, until the Fall of 2021.
This is not a decision that has been made easily; however, we feel comforted knowing that we are making the best possible choice in putting the health and safety of our community first. We appreciate your patience in dealing with the uncertainties we have faced and hope that you will remain interested in the postponed event.
We will be communicating updates as soon as they become available.
Thank you for your support throughout these challenging times,
Evangelia Tastsoglou, CESA President
Abdie Kazemipur, Henry Chow, Yoko Yoshida, and Shibao Guo, Executive Committee Members
