On Thursday, October 24, at 3:00 pm, the Institute of Island Studies will host an online information session for the upcoming conference, "Turning the Tide: Island Imaginaries & Interdisciplinaries in Climate Change." This information session will include a short presentation from conference organizers, followed by a Q&A session. The goal of this session is to share information about the upcoming conference, and to answer any questions or concerns students might have about attending academic conferences.

If you are a researcher still unsure about whether or not to submit an abstract, a student wondering about the benefits of attending conferences, or have any other questions or concerns, we hope to have the answers for you in this session!

This third international conference on small island states and subnational island jurisdictions will be hosted from June 16-20, 2025, at UPEI in Charlottetown and the UPEI Canadian Centre for Climate Change and Adaptation in St. Peter's Bay. Local co-hosts include the Institute of Island Studies, the UNESCO Chair in Island Studies and Sustainability, and the Canadian Centre for Climate Change and Adaptation.
