We look forward to welcoming you in Toronto this July!

Registration – Registration IS NOW LIVE!

If you will be joining us in Toronto, you must choose in-person registration.

We ask that you select the registration rate that best represents your available resources, including institutional funding, bearing in mind that those able to afford a higher registration fee will be assisting those unable to do so. All rates are in Canadian dollars.

In person attendance:

    • $250
    • $100
    • $50

Online-only attendance:

    • $25
    • $10
    • $5

Travel – Here is some information that will help you in planning your travel to, and accommodation in, Toronto.

A full conference program will be published shortly. The conference will open with a reception on Thursday evening, July 13th. Friday and Saturday will be full days of programming, concluding at 5:00 o’clock on July 15th. All events will take place on or near the downtown (St. George) campus of the University of Toronto: https://map.utoronto.ca/?id=1809#!ce/48593?ct/45469,0,48654,48655,48656,48657,48658

If you are flying into the city, you will most likely land at Pearson International Airport. There is a variety of options to travel from the airport into the city, ranging from public transit ($3.25 for the airport express bus, $12.35 for the UP express train) to taxis, limos, and ride sharing. Information about all transportation options can be found here: https://www.torontopearson.com/en/transportation-and-parking

Porter is a boutique airline that flies to Toronto from some destinations, landing at Billy Bishop airport downtown on the waterfront. https://www.flyporter.com/en-ca/

Accommodation – Accommodation is available at various price points.

New College Residence, on the downtown campus and a short walk to the conference venue, offers short-term, dormitory-style accommodation during the summer.

Chestnut Residence is operated by the University of Toronto as a student residence during the academic year, and offers more hotel-like accommodation for short-term stays in the summer. It is also within walking distance of campus.

Three- and four-star hotels within walking distance of the conference include:

      • the Courtyard by Marriott
      • the Holiday Inn
      • DoubleTree by Hilton 

Numerous other hotels, boutique hotels, and airbnbs are close to campus. The university is situated in the heart of the city, close to shopping, restaurants and bars, art galleries, museums, theatres, music venues, and residential areas.

For maps and more information, visit the City of Toronto website at https://www.toronto.ca/explore-enjoy/visitor-services/.


Please note: Presenters are responsible for costs associated with their session (e.g., handouts and supplies) and personal expenses (travel, hotel, and registration fees). All presenters must register for the conference. Registration fee levels will be posted on the conference registration page in early 2023. Our intention is to make this conference logistically and financially accessible. Discounted rates and some limited scholarships will be available for students, artists, and others in need. All conference spaces will be accessible and closed captioning will be available, and additional disability accommodations will be made available on request.


We wish to acknowledge this land on which the University of Toronto operates. For thousands of years it has been the traditional land of the Huron-Wendat, the Seneca, and the Mississaugas of the Credit. Today, this meeting place is still the home to many Indigenous people from across Turtle Island and we are grateful to have the opportunity to work on this land. For more information, please visit https://indigenous.utoronto.ca/.
