2022 Graduate Students Conference

The Centre for the Study of Democratic Citizenship (CSDC) hosted its annual graduate student conference on April 1 and 2, in Québec. The goal of this conference is to offer graduate and postdoctoral students interested in the Centre’s re- search areas the opportunity to present and receive feedback on their research.

This year, there were 24 presentations by students from 6 universities members of the CSDC (Concordia, McGill, Université Laval, Université de Montréal, UQAM and UQTR) and 3 non-members universities (UC Louvain, UBC and University of Oslo). The full program is available here.
