ICCPR 2026 – Ottawa
The 2026 International Cultural Policy Research Conference (ICCPR) will be held at the University of Ottawa from August 17 to August 22, 2026.
Conference theme
Language plays an important role in cultural production; it is a fundamental dimension of art and heritage communication. Languages convey ways of being and cultural memory; they act as a repertoire for decisions and actions, and they enable us to engage with the world. For this edition of the ICCPR, we wish to reflect on the intersections between language and cultural policy. We wish to invite discussion on languages with regards to three distinct levels of analysis.
