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
