The Canadian Association of Slavists (CAS), founded in 1954 at the University of Manitoba, is an interdisciplinary gathering of scholars and professionals whose interests focus on the social, economic and political life of the Slavic peoples, as well as their languages, cultures and histories.
The CAS promotes the intercultural skills necessary to understand the complexity of Slavic societies and engage them in mutually beneficial dialogue. The CAS contributes toward these goals by disseminating knowledge about the past and present of the Slavic world through the publication of Canadian Slavonic Papers / Revue canadienne des slavistes.
The CAS is one of many learned societies that comprise the Canadian Federation for the Humanities and Social Sciences (CFHSS). Members of the CAS present and discuss their research at an annual scholarly conference, which is held in late May, in conjunction with the Federation's Congress of the Humanities and Social Sciences.
