The symposium series MACAS was founded in 2005 by an international group of researchers and held for the first time at the University of Education Schwäbsich Gmünd, Germany. Subsequent MACAS-meetings were held in Odense, Denmark (2007), and in Moncton, Canada (2009). After an interval with no meetings, MACAS returned to Schwäbisch Gmündn in 2015. In 2017, MACAS returns to Denmark – this time at the Danish School of Education, Aarhus University, in Copenhagen.
