The CSSR/SCÉR is a member of the Canadian Federation for the Humanities and Social Sciences (CFHSS). Created in 1996 as the result of the merger of the Social Science Federation of Canada and of the Canadian Federation for the Humanities, CFHSS represents “more than 85,000 researchers in 80 scholarly associations, 79 universities and colleges, and 5 affiliates [in Canada; it] is the national voice for the university research and learning community in these disciplines” (CFHSS website).
The Federation is best known to our members for the annual Congress that it organizes, in which we hold our CSSR meetings.
