CEA is a vibrant organization and its conference has always celebrated
scholarly activity in many forms: papers on literary criticism, on
writing theory, and on writing and literary teaching pedagogies as they
relate to the conference themes and special topic sessions.

CEA conference panels are composed of three to four presenters; papers
are to be no more than 15 minutes in reading length.

The submission requirements are as follow:

1) Proposals of 200 to 500 words (include title) for the CEA Special
Topics Panels on Academic Leadership SHOULD BE submitted using the CEA
proposal submission site at the URL
http://english.ttu.edu/CEA/conftool/index.php indicating the topic
submission category of Academic Leadership and Mentoring.

Electronic submissions open September 15th and close on November 1st.

Submitting electronically is a two-step process: (1) setting up a user
ID; then (2) using that ID to log in—this time to a welcome page which
provides a link for submitting proposals to the conference. When you
submit your proposal, use the pull-down menu to indicate your topic
category.

If submitting a panel, panel organizers must create user IDs for ALL
proposed partici- pants.

we will accept hard-copy proposals, postmarked no later than October
