PROPOSED ACTIVITIES

CANADIAN LITERATURE JOURNAL

Very soon we are launching a Journal of Canadian Literature and Culture with the support of a Delhi based publishing house. It will be a refreed journal which will publish research on both English and French Canadian literatures and will also discuss Canadian culture with reference to multicultural, multi-ethnic, multi-lingual and multi-religious ethos and values. Papers comparing Canada and India of high research/ academic value in the spheres of literature and culture are welcome. Full research papers strictly following the latest MLA style and academic writing norms and procedures may be sent to the editors via email at: omjuneja@yahoo.com Editors will inform as soon as the paper has been reviewed. We regret to infrom you that no remunerations/ re-imbursements are possible at this stage.
