As you will be aware, an in-person 2021 Annual Meeting of the CGU will not be taking place. However, as was the case last summer, the CGU is planning an online series of oral sessions, workshops, section meetings and a Union-wide Annual General Meeting. The sessions will take place online throughout June and July, with the framework, schedule, and content of the meeting appearing on the CGU website in the coming weeks. This page is to serve as an initial Call for Abstracts for over a dozen online sessions. The titles and conveners of these sessions are listed below, along with information on where to submit abstract submissions.
Click the following link for an Abstract submission template. This year abstract submission fees are waived but we are requiring that presenting authors have renewed (or joined) the CGU for 2021, prior to submitting their abstract. Please send completed submissions to info@cgu-ugc.ca with a subject heading that states “Session (number 1-15)” in order to facilitate efficient filing upon receipt of the e-mail. For any inquiries regarding the structure of the planned activity, please e-mail the same address but with a different format for the subject heading.
