It is with great sadness that we learned of the recent passing of Mark Salber Phillips, esteemed member of the Canadian Society for Eighteenth-Century Studies.

The CSECS is pleased to invite you to the third session of its new Online Speakers Series. The focus of this series in 2024-25 will be to discuss equity, diversity, and inclusion, and explore how these ideas relate to eighteenth-century studies.

The next congress of the Canadian Society for Eighteenth-Century Studies will be held in Regina, Saskatchewan, from October 15 to 18, 2025, under the theme "Trans/Formations: Crossing Boundaries, Blurring Borders." Deadline for submitting a paper proposal: March 31, 2025.

This international symposium celebrating the 300^th anniversary of Gulliver’s Travels will be held on 7-9 May 2026 under the auspices of the St. Bride Library in London, U.K. and in conjunction with a print workshop.

Glendon College in Toronto is looking for a research assistant from January 2025 to September 2025 to work on the York University Research Chair on Franco-Aboriginal Relations in the Americas.

Ce colloque souhaite engager une discussion autour d’une thématique singulière – le portrait – dans une perspective transhistorique, transdisciplinaire et transmédiale, ceci afin de réfléchir collectivement à sa définition et aux problématiques soulevées par son corpus aux origines séculaires. Il s’agira d’étudier les nombreuses théories et formes de la pratique portraitiste et d’en mesurer les enjeux épistémologiques, esthétiques, sociaux, politiques et médiatiques sur le temps long, sans contrainte temporelle ou géographique.

The Canadian Society for Eighteenth-Century Studies set up a YouTube channel in 2022. In the wake of our new Online Speaker Series, we plan to add videos to this channel on a regular basis, to present research from our members, as well as discussions and debates that may be of interest for researchers and the public at large.

The next International Seminar for Early-Career Scholars, organized annually by the International Society for Eighteenth-Century Studies (ISECS), will take place in Lyon, France, from June 30 to July 4 2025. The theme of the Seminar will be "The Eighteenth Century and Possible Worlds".
