The Hemingway Society invites proposals exploring Hemingway’s ties to Toronto and his broader literary legacy. We welcome innovative perspectives on any aspect of Hemingway studies, including literary, cultural, and theoretical approaches. Proposals exploring Hemingway’s early career, Toronto connections, and new angles on his work are especially encouraged:
- The impact of Hemingway’s journalistic training on his literary style.
- Hemingway’s Toronto years in a global and transnational context.
- Reconsidering Hemingway’s mentorship networks (e.g., Morley Callaghan).
- Hemingway and civic responsibility.
- The role of sports, competition, and masculinity in Hemingway’s early work.
- Rethinking Hemingway’s relationship with modernist movements in Canada and beyond.
we invite panel proposals (up to 4 presenters + respondent), roundtables (5-6 participants + moderator), pedagogy sessions, and multimedia/creative arts presentations.
