This thematic focus invites consideration of a range of topics from cultural output to historical events, including political, economic, legal, ethical, literary, journalistic, artistic and scientific endeavors related to sustainability and mutual collaboration. All relevant considerations of these themes within the field of Hungarian studies writ large will be considered.<\/p>\n Although we strongly encourage proposals that speak to the conference theme, we also welcome proposals on any topic related to Hungary and Hungarian Studies. The Hungarian Studies Association of Canada also supports and encourages both creative and critical scholarly engagement within and across disciplines.<\/p>\n We especially encourage proposals from graduate students. In addition to offering limited funding to offset the costs of participation in the conference, HSAC will choose one graduate student presenter to receive Congress\u2019s Graduate Merit Award. The award winner will be recognized publicly by Congress, and will receive a $500 award.<\/p>\n Proposals should include a maximum 300-word abstract and a brief 100-word bio that can be used to introduce the speaker. <\/strong>Since both the abstract and the bio will be published online, they should be prepared in Word format using Times New Roman, 12-point font.
