CALL FOR PAPERS
2007 Annual Convention, Seattle, WA, February 16-20, 2007
Conference Theme: Promoting Social Justice Through Our Work
 
COMPETITIVE PAPERS
Authors are encouraged to submit papers to the Performance Studies Interest
Group. Papers may include research reports employing any methodology,
theoretical developments or critiques, and critical analyses. Work that
integrates a creative approach to scholarly endeavors is especially encouraged.

Competitive papers should not have been presented previously at another
conference, be accepted for publication, or have been published.

Debut: The Performance Studies Interest Group welcomes debut papers. The WSCA
Executive Club Debut Award is made to the author of a paper presented at the
convention by an author or co-authors "who have not presented at a state,
regional, national, or international convention, or published in any academic
journal." Papers presented at student-only conferences are exempt from this
requirement. All authors of a co-authored paper must meet these eligibility
requirements for a paper to be considered a debut paper. Papers eligible for
the Debut Award should be marked "DEBUT" in the upper right-hand corner of the
title page. Please also indicate whether each author is a bachelor, masters,
or doctoral student.

All papers should be submitted by e-mail attachment. Please use MS Word or RTF
for all documents. Submitted papers should include two separate attachments:

1. A title page with title of paper, names of all authors, and the addresses,
phone numbers, e-mail addresses, institutional affiliations of each author.
Also include audio-visual requests. NOTE: Equipment availability is extremely
limited. See WSCA Policy on the Use of Audio-Visual Equipment at Conventions
at http://www.westcomm.org.

2. The paper, including a 250-500 word abstract, and a maximum of 25 pages of
