5th Annual HHF Greek Canadian Archives Conference

Building on the foundation of the HHF Greek Canadian Archives, we are pleased to announce a two-day interdisciplinary conference taking place this May in Toronto.

This gathering aims to bridge the gap between diverse disciplinary, geographic, and thematic fields. We invite researchers in History, Politics, Sociology, Anthropology, Geography, Film and Media Studies, and Migration Studies—with a focus on Greece, Cyprus, and the Greek/Cypriot Canadian experience—to join the conversation and explore opportunities for future collaboration.

• Dates: May 14 – May 15, 2026
• Location: Toronto, ON
• Theme: Church and C/communities; the Canadian case

We are honored to welcome Professor Emeritus Alexander Kitroeff to Toronto. On May 15, Professor Kitroeff will deliver a keynote address on his extensive research regarding the history and recent past of the Greek Orthodox Church in North America.

While the central theme focuses on the Church and its communities, we welcome presentations on any aspect of your current research. Whether you are working on a solo project or wish to propose a panel, this is an opportunity to share your work in a supportive, professional environment.

• Format: 15-minute individual presentations.
• Panels: Small groups (2–3 people) are encouraged to submit joint panel proposals.
• Objective: To foster networking, highlight individual research, and spark common projects among Toronto-based scholars and beyond.

To participate, please submit a presentation title and a brief biography (3–4 lines).

• Deadline: April 10, 2026
• Submission: Email your materials to both the organizer and [email protected].

Submissions will be used to curate sessions that facilitate meaningful dialogue and highlight the breadth of work currently being produced in our community.
