Especially encouraged are proposals that consider literary works as a bridge to understanding. Several papers from each conference are published in Postscript, the peer-reviewed journal of the Philological Association of the Carolinas. The Don Joiner Award is given to the best manuscript published in Postscript, as is an award for the best graduate student submission. See http://www.unca.edu/postscript/ for more details.
