Dear colleagues,

This is to cordially invite you to attend the conference organized by the GRIQUERE (Inter-university Research Group on Quebec in the 1960s and its relations with the outside) with the theme "Quebec in the 1960s and its openness to the world" which will be held May 16, 2013 at the University of Montreal.

This international conference is multidisciplinary and provides a forum where speakers from Quebec, Canada and Europe on the issue of Quebec's international influence in the 1960s and on the external elements that have marked the progress of Québec during this decade. This symposium will conclude with a roundtable bringing together artisans of the student movement of the 1960s and the Maple Spring will be discussed and analyzed as the continuities and discontinuities between the two movements in discourse and practice.
