The Summer Symposium at the Shaw Festival will take place July 24-26 in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario, Canada.
Please have a look at the Call for Papers and consider submitting a paper/panel proposal.
Other aspects that participants may wish to take into consideration are the following:
- Registration for the symposium is free for ISS members but you do need to officially register by calling the Shaw Festival Box Office as soon as possible (1-800-511-7429) in order to attend the sessions.
- Financial support is available for graduate students and unfunded scholars presenting at the symposium. See our Scholarships page for more information. Note that you must be a member in good standing of the ISS to be eligible for funding.
- Symposium participants are responsible to buy their own tickets for the Sunday matinee of Heartbreak House.
- Anyone looking for a more affordable accommodation option should consider the residence at Niagara College’s Niagara-on-the-Lake (Daniel J. Patterson) campus. The residence is a 20-minute drive from the Shaw Festival, but we can arrange transportation if necessary. The ISS is currently holding several rooms at the residence, so feel free to contact Dorothy Hadfield (president@shawsociety.org) if you aren’t able to find vacancy for the symposium weekend
