pole, paddle, or portage; by slave, slaver, sailor, or salmon. Papers on

P A S S A G E S
The clean, elegant lines of the St. Louis Gateway Arch rise high above
the Mississippi River, a literal representation of the city’s most famous
epithet, “Gateway to the West.†Inspired by this image, CEA pays tribute
to St. Louis and to the many pioneers who passed through its threshold,
risking the world they knew for nothing more (or less) than the promise
of a new beginning. Our theme for the 2008 conference is Passages.
