Call for Papers
We invite submissions for a forthcoming special issue of FIAR: Forum for Inter-American Research entitled: From Margin to Center: Black Canadian Hemispheric Perspectives
In the current climate of polarizing politics—marked by global conflict, resurgent nationalism, xenophobia, and backlash against racial and gender justice—this special issue seeks to center often-underrepresented Black Canadian experiences within broader hemispheric and diasporic conversations. Submissions may focus specifically on the Canadian context or adopt a comparative hemispheric approach, provided they critically reflect on what Black Canadian perspectives contribute to broader understandings of Black diasporic life, thought, and struggle in the Americas.
Deadline for full articles: August 1st, 2026. See attachment for further submission details.
Editors: Dr. Jamilah Dei-Sharpe, Dr. Afua Cooper, Dr. Wilfred Raussert
