One-Day Research Seminar, Institute of English Studies (University of London)

3 April 2013

The Seminar's main objective is to advance our group's work in the field of urban literatures and cultures of Canada within the three-year research project The City, Urban Cultures and Sustainable Literatures: Representations of the Anglo-Canadian Post-Metropolis, fully funded by the Spanish Ministry of Science and Technology, with the participation of Canadian Literature Scholars from Spain, Canada and the UK.

A related aim is to share our work and explore network possibilities with scholars from the British Association for Canadian Studies Literature Group, whom we especially welcome to join us and participate in the discussions.
