The College English Association, a gathering of scholar-teachers in English studies, welcomes proposals for presentations on U.S Latino/a Literary Culture for our 43rd annual conference. Submit your proposal at http://www.cea-web.org
Special Topics: U.S. Latino/a Literary Culture
We are interested in paper proposals (approximately 250-words in length) for panels that address the general conference theme of "Borders" and how this concept applies to U.S. Latino/a literary production. Proposals that examine "Borders" in relation to issues of race, gender, sexual orientation, class, ethnicity, religion, spirituality, immigration, globalization, labor, power, among others, are especially welcome.
Conference Theme: Borders
CEA welcomes proposals for presentations on the general conference theme, Borders.
Borders, boundaries, margins—what lines provide the perimeters to our profession? What demarcations continue to separate and define English studies in the second decade of the new millennium? When is "crossing a line" a desirable professional/pedagogical stance? How have scholarly fields evolved, dissolved, merged or consolidated in areas that we have traditionally viewed as distinct? Exactly where and how is English expanding and extending its borders?
General Call for Papers
CEA also welcomes proposals for presentations in any of the areas English departments typically encompass, including literature criticism and scholarship, creative writing, composition, technical communication, linguistics, and film. We also welcome papers on areas that influence our work as academics, including student demographics, student/instructor accountability and assessment, student advising, academic leadership in departments and programs, and the place of the English department in the university.
Submission Dates: August 31-November 1, 2011
