    Canadian Association for Italian Studies (CAIS)
    Call for Papers: 2025 Conference
    Università di Bologna - UNIBO

    June 6-7 and 9-10, 2025


    The Canadian Association for Italian Studies invites session and paper proposals for the 2025 Canadian Association for Italian Studies Conference that will be held in hybrid format (both in person and on Zoom) at the Università di Bologna, Classical Philology and Italian Studies Department.


    This year, the first two days of the conference (Friday June 6th  and Saturday June 7th) sessions will be held online, while on Monday, June 9th and Tuesday June 10th sessions will be held fully in person.

    Please note that while we will endeavour to accommodate requests, we reserve the right to offer balanced conference days.

    If your session is to be delivered online, ALL speakers will need to be online and all audience members will also access the session online.

    If your session is to be delivered in person, ALL speakers will need to be in person.

    Moreover, no request to swap in-person sessions or presentations for online presentations or sessions will be accepted once the program is published.

    Opening and closing Remarks, Keynotes and the AGM will take place in hybrid format.

    This year, while there is no conference theme per se, papers are welcome on all aspects of Italian Studies. In addition, on our website (https://canadianassociationforitalianstudies.org), you will find special sessions organized by the CAIS Executive.

    The deadline for session proposals is March 3, 2025. To propose a session, please fill out the session proposal form and submit it to the conference organizers at the official CAIS email address: italian.studies.canada@gmail.com. Session proposals will be published on the CAIS website in the order in which they are received.

    Proposals for individual papers should be sent directly to the session organizers using the paper proposal form. If you would like to propose a paper that cannot be housed in any of the planned panels, please submit the paper proposal form directly to the conference organizers at this email address: italian.studies.canada@gmail.com.

    Session organizers must consider all the paper proposals received up to the deadline of March 20, 2025. The announcement that a panel is closed can only be made after that date. Once the deadline has passed, all session organizers will submit the complete session proposal form for their session (or sessions). Please use one form for each completed session.

    Members can present only one paper at the annual conference. Papers must be presented synchronously (live), and not be recorded. Moreover, no papers will be read in absentia. In addition, members can participate in one round table. Session organizers are allowed to chair the session they organized. Members are allowed to chair and organize more than one session.

    Please be reminded that if you submit a paper proposal to more than one session, you should notify all the organizers to whom you have made a submission. If you fail to notify the session organizers, they will have the right to decide between themselves in which session the paper will be presented or if the paper will be excluded.

    All participants must be members in good standing of CAIS. Membership must be current by April 24, 2025 in order for the member’s name to appear in the program and for the member to be allowed to present his/her work at the 2025 CAIS conference.

    Conference Registration will open in March 2025. The deadline to register for the conference is April 14, 2025. In order to ensure proper planning and for purposes of catering and classroom/meeting reservations, no late registrations will be accepted.

    Papers in sessions with four speakers should be no more than 15 minutes long to allow for discussion among session participants. Papers in sessions with three speakers should be no longer than 20 minutes to allow for discussion among session participants.

    Le sessioni online richiederanno che TUTTI i relatori e i partecipanti vi accedano online. Per le sessioni in presenza TUTTI i relatori dovranno partecipare di persona.

    Gli interventi in apertura e chiusura al convegno, le conferenze plenarie e l’AGM avverranno in formato ibrido.

    Quest’anno il convegno non avrà un tema definito bensì sarà aperto a tutti i possibili aspetti degli studi di italianistica.

    L’Esecutivo CAIS organizzerà alcune sessioni speciali che verranno inserite nel sito web dell’Associazione (https://canadianassociationforitalianstudies.org).

    Le proposte di sessione devono essere inviate all’indirizzo email della CAIS: italian.studies.canada@gmail.com, entro il 3 marzo 2025. Le proposte saranno pubblicate sul sito dell’associazione nell’ordine in cui verranno ricevute.

    Gli organizzatori delle sessioni sono tenuti a prendere in considerazione tutte le proposte ricevute entro la scadenza del 20 marzo 2025 Una volta complete, le sessioni verranno annunciate pochi giorni dopo la scadenza. Gli organizzatori delle sessioni potranno quindi completare il modulo per la proposta di sessione completa, e inviarlo entro la scadenza a italian.studies.canada@gmail.com.

    I delegati potranno effettuare solo UNA presentazione, presiederne più di una ed inoltre partecipare ad una tavola rotonda. I membri del comitato organizzatore potranno presiedere e organizzare più di una sessione.

    Ogni presentazione in sessioni che prevendono quattro interventi avrà una durata massima di 15 minuti; in sessioni con tre interventi le presentazioni potranno durare fino a 20 minuti. In entrambi i casi vi sarà del tempo sufficiente per la discussione.

    I delegati che intendono inviare più di una proposta sono tenuti a darne notifica agli organizzatori delle sessioni a cui hanno inviato le loro proposte. In caso di mancata notifica, i membri del comitato organizzativo si riservano il diritto di decidere in quale sessione inserire l’intervento o se escluderlo dal convegno.

    Dear CAIS colleagues,


    I hope that you are well. I write today to let you know that, after much reflection, I will need to step down as President of CAIS.


    It was a very difficult decision as I have enjoyed this role and working with all of you tremendously.


    On October 1, 2022, I began my term as Interim Provost & Vice-President, Academic at Toronto Metropolitan University and, as such, feel that I can no longer dedicate the time and effort necessary to do a great job as President of the Association.


    I have felt extremely honoured and privileged to represent CAIS over the last two years, during and coming out of the pandemic. As an Association, we have organized two wonderful conferences on important themes, such as Black Italy in 2020, and we have collegially undertaken the review of our Constitution to make it more modern and more flexible, a living document that reflects the needs of our membership and our discipline.


    I have had a few days to reflect on the importance of our discipline and of the Humanities in general and, while I am worried (like many of you) about enrollments and retention, I am also hopeful that Italian Studies will continue to thrive but only with our hard work in advocacy and ensuring that the work we do at our respective universities continues to be innovative and speaks to the students we have in front of us today.


    I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of you for your support and my request is that you keep promoting CAIS to your networks for us to recruit more scholars as members of our Association.


    I would also like to thank our CAIS Executive especially for their efforts in these last few days. They have sprung into action, and I am happy to announce that our past president Cristina Perissinotto has agreed to step into the role of interim President for this academic year. In addition, Luisa Canuto (UBC) has generously agreed to be interim Vice-President of CAIS. Together with the other members of the Executive, they will share, over the next few weeks, the Call for Papers for the 2023 Conference.


    Carissimi saluti a voi tutti e sinceri ringraziamenti!


    Roberta Iannacito-Provenzano, PhD

    Full Professor, Italian Studies

    Interim Provost & Vice-President, Academic (TMU)

    Dear colleagues,


    I hope that you are all doing well and enjoying the summer!


    I am delighted to report that our conference, held June 2-5 at the Sant’Anna Institute, went very well. While the hybrid format did present some challenges, they were resolved quickly and efficiently in the spirit of understanding, collaboration and collegiality. Our keynotes, Professor Ruth Ben-Ghiat (NYU), Professor Silvana Patriarca (Fordham) and Professor Luca Cottini (Villanova) were outstanding and insightful, speaking to us on timely and relevant topics that led to interesting discussion and conversation. I am extremely grateful for the participation of these scholars at CAIS 2022!


    At our Annual General Meeting (June 4), all constitutional changes were approved. An amended constitution will be posted on our website over the next week or so. We continue to ask for your support in filling positions on the Executive. Please reach out to me directly at roberta@ryerson.ca if you would like more information about an interim role at this time.


    Many of you have asked us about our 2023 Conference; it is most likely that the conference will be held in Canada. The Executive will meet over the next weeks to determine a specific location and format. Stay tuned for more details!


    I would like to thank all colleagues who participated in CAIS 2022 in Sorrento. It is precisely this type of knowledge exchange and mobilization that makes us a strong association and one that I care about deeply. Aside from enjoying all the sessions I attended, it was extremely heart-warming to see colleagues after a few years of not being able to and in a magnificent location!


    I would also like to say infinite grazie to the team at the Sant’Anna Institute without whose knowledge, expertise, organizational savvy, we would not have been able to pull off such a fabulous few days!


    Last but not least, I could not do this work as President, a true labour of love, without the exceptional support of the organizing committee and our CAIS executive members. Thank you!


    Wishing you all a lovely summer. I hope that it re-energizes all of you and that you can spend time with friends and family!


    Sincerely,


    Roberta Iannacito-Provenzano, PhD

    CAIS President

    Hello everyone!


    Almost a week to go until our CAIS 2022 conference in Sorrento!


    Attached is the FINAL conference program.


    You will notice some changes/shifts as we accommodated colleagues' various last minute requests.

    2. HYBRID: There is a classroom assigned to these for participants and others wishing to attend. Zoom links will be provided.


    3. IN-PERSON: Fully in person session with no virtual participation.


    Opening and Closing remarks, AGM and Keynote sessions, will be HYBRID.


    Please note that all relevant Zoom links will be sent under separate cover as we move closer to the conference.


    The Zoom links are only for registered conference participants (i.e. colleagues who appear on the program).


    We are asking everyone to respect this and not share the links with those who are not registered for CAIS 2022.


    Please note that CAIS has added an optional excursion in lieu of our 1st keynote on DAY 1 (June 2).
