Scandinavian-Canadian Studies/Études Scandinaves au Canada is a journal published by the AASSC (Association for the Advancement of Scandinavian Studies in Canada/L’Association pour L’Avancement des études Scandinaves au Canada). It expresses in concrete—and more recently virtual—form the Association’s conviction that there is much to be learned from peoples of Scandinavia, not least by Canadians, who share a comparable geopolitical situation, as well as social and cultural histories and values. Articles and reviews, which may be published in either English or French, deal with a wide range of subjects: translation, indigenous studies, postcolonialism, politics, film, contemporary literature, Scandinavian immigration to Canada, Icelandic sagas, and so on. The first volume was published in 1983.

SCANDINAVIAN-CANADIAN STUDIES/ÉTUDES SCANDINAVES AU CANADA Vol. 33.1 (2026). Medieval Disability Studies: Challenges and Commonalities
Vol. 33 No. 1 (2026)SCANDINAVIAN-CANADIAN STUDIES/ÉTUDES SCANDINAVES AU CANADA Vol. 33.1 (2026)
Special Issue: Guest Editors: Alice Bower and Yoav Tirosh.
We are pleased to announce the launch of volume 33 of Scandinavian-Canadian Studies— a special issue focusing on experiences and constructions of disability in historical sources. In six peer reviewed articles, researchers from various disciplines make use of sources ranging from Icelandic sagas to archaeological remains to shine light on both lived experience of impairment and disability, and cultural attitudes towards bodies presented as non-conforming. The research articles are accompanied by three shorter pieces which further situate the study of disability in historical material in the modern context, offering discussion on the ideas underpinning the study of disability in historical sources, as well as addressing the practical barriers to inclusion faced within academia. We, the editors (Alice Bower and Yoav Tirosh) would like to express our gratitude to everybody who has contributed to this volume, and not least to the editorial team at Scandinavian-Canadian studies for their invaluable support at every stage of the publication process. -
