The British Association for Canadian Studies (BACS) is a membership-based academic association that is also a registered UK charity. [1] BACS was founded in 1975 in order to promote Canadian studies in the United Kingdom. [2] Along with the establishment of the Academic Relations Unit at the Canada House, it significantly helped the growth of Canadia Studies in the UK in the 1970s. [2] The organization has 400 members as of somewhere around 2016, and holds an annual conference attended by around 150 academics and postgraduate students each year. [2] It also publishes a peer-reviewed journal called the British Journal of Canadian Studies. [2] It contains seven specialist groups for academics, on aboriginal studies, economics, architecture, literature, law, and Quebec as well as a resources group. [2] BACS is a member of the International Council for Canadian Studies (ICCS), of which it was a founding member in 1981. [1]
