deconstructions, blurrings, violations, regulations, disruptions, and/or transgressions. Papers may or may not consider taboos in terms of genre, culture, gender, geography, sexuality, disability, race, class, religion and/or politics. Creative writing, Literature, and Rhetoric & Composition submissions related to this theme are all welcome. You may also submit papers individually or as a panel. Please send your drafts or abstracts to csunagse_at_yahoo.com by March 16th.

The conference will go from 9:00 AM until 4:30 PM. Each presenter will have approximately 10 minutes of speaking time, so please plan your submissions and proposals accordingly. The full conference registration fee is $20.00, and includes a copy of the published proceedings for presenters, a continental breakfast, and a delicious lunch.
