The Eastern Townships of Quebec are celebrated in popular discourse as a charming and remote nature playground for busy Montrealers, an appendage to stately Quebec City, and a northern abutment to the Northeast Kingdom of the United States. A closer look reveals a region with its own gravity, sense of being, and worldly connections.

Quebec’s Eastern Townships and the World examines the region’s direct links to larger prevailing international forces and identities. Join us in Bishop’s University’s Cleghorn room (McGreer building) for panel discussions with contributors to this important anthology and find out more about the Eastern Townships as a centre, borderland, and lieu de passage between nations, communities, and peoples.
