Association of Adaptation Studies Annual Conference 2026

The conference this year is to be held at Burman University in Lacombe, Alberta, Canada. Alberta is one of the sunniest provinces in Canada with beautiful rolling prairies, Rocky Mountains, and deep canyons that elicit stunning echoes. Burman University is situated on the hilltop of Lacombe, a charming university town in Central Alberta. Lacombe is just outside Red Deer, and is situated between Edmonton International Airport (by about an hour) and Calgary International Airport (by about one and a half hours). The conference’s events, keynote address, and sessions will take place at the new campus library and McKibbin Centre—the adjacent building and home to our School of Education.
