SWCCL 2025
The Department of Languages and Literature and the College of Liberal Arts at Northeastern State University will be hosting the Southwest Conference on Christianity and Literature annual regional meeting on October 24-25, 2025 at Northeastern State University’s campus in Tahlequah, Oklahoma.
The general theme of this year’s conference is “Anger in Literature.” Negative emotions are everywhere in literature and popular culture, but are not always directly addressed. Anger can be both righteous and shameful, redemptive and crippling. Part of the theme is to explore the uses of anger (and associated emotions) in terms of a Christian worldview.
