The Setting: Located on culturally distinct and diverse Cape Breton Island, at the confluence of Mi'kmaq, Acadian, Irish, Loyalist, and Scottish traditions, further enlivened by the multicultural influx of industrialisation, Cape Breton University is the only university in the Maritimes to offer undergraduate programmes in Folklore and Ethnomusicology. Themes: The context of Cape Breton suggests a number of themes: Cultural tourism Post-industrialism Out-migration and diaspora Romantic nationalism Multiculturalism outside the metropolis Proposals dealing with other topics will also be considered. As much as possible, we would like to adhere to a plenary session format, which would include: chaired discussions, round table discussions, workshops, oral paper presentations, and visual display presentations.
