Quelques arpents de neige is pleased to announce a new format that will feature one meeting annually (instead of three). The program of the meeting will be much the same as previous meetings but somewhat expanded. We hope that the annual Arpents meeting will act as an important regular meeting place for environmental historians in the region.

The next meeting will be Dec 10-11, 2011 in Kingston, Ontario. The program has yet to be finalized but confirmed speakers include James Rice (SUNY Plattsburgh), Michèle Dagenais (Université de Montréal), Elsa Lam (Canadian Centre for Architecture), Tim Sedo (Concordia University) and Elizabeth Jewett (University of Toronto). Please mark the dates on your calendar!

As always, there will be no registration fee to attend. More details will be forthcoming.

Best wishes,

The Arpents Executive

PS. Please pass this along to people who are not on our mailing list, especially graduate students.

————————-

Il nous fait plaisir de vous annoncer que Quelques arpents de neige aura désormais une seule et grande rencontre par année. Le format « atelier » et l’atmosphère chaleureuse de nos rencontres ne changeront pas ; nous aurons simplement plus de temps pour écouter plus de conférenciers, faire plus d’ateliers… Nous espérons que Quelques arpents restera un rassemblement annuel important pour les historiens environnementaux du Nord-est de l’Amérique du nord!

Notre prochaine rencontre se tiendra les 10 et 11 décembre à Kingston (ON). Les conférenciers confirmés sont : James Rice (SUNY Plattsburgh), Michèle Dagenais (Université de Montréal), Elsa Lam (Centre canadien d’architecture), Tim Sedo (Université Concordia) et Elizabeth Jewett (Université de Toronto). Soyez-y !

Comme à l’habitude, il n’y a pas de frais d’inscription. La programmation détaillée vous sera communiquée sous peu.

Le Comité exécutif de Quelques arpents.

P.S. Veuillez svp faire circuler ce message à ceux et celles qui ne sont pas sur notre liste d’envois ! Pensez en particulier aux étudiants de 2e et 3e cycles.
