  Mediations

  2015 FSAC / ACEF Annual Meeting

  In accordance with the theme of “Capital Ideas” for the 2015 Congress of the Humanities and Social Sciences, the Folklore Studies Association of Canada / l’Association canadienne d’ethnologie et de folklore has selected “Mediations” as the theme for our 2015 annual conference program.
