Toronto was a pivotal stop in Hemingway’s early career—a place where he honed his craft as a journalist, earned his first bylines at The Toronto Star, and briefly settled to welcome his first child in 1923. The 2026 conference offers an opportunity to revisit these formative years and discuss Hemingway’s impact from multiple perspectives. 

The Hemingway Society and Toronto Metropolitan University’s Modern Literature and Culture (MLC) Research Centre, in collaboration with the University of Windsor, and other Toronto sister universities including University of Toronto, York University, and OCAD University.
