A hybrid conference
July 17-22, 2022, University of Guelph, Canada
The conference takes place on the beautiful campus of the University of Guelph, in the city of Guelph, Ontario, Canada.
The City of Guelph is situated on treaty land that is steeped in rich indigenous history and home to many First Nations, Inuit and Métis people today. The University of Guelph campus is located within the Between the Lakes Purchase (Treaty 3); the treaty lands and territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit.
It is recognized that the Anishinnabe and Hodinöhsö:ni' peoples have unique, long-standing and on-going relationships with the land and each other and that the Attawandaron people are part of the archaeological record. It is vital acknowledge these Peoples on whose traditional territory the ISOCS-29 meeting takes place.
