Submission Instructions

New submissions policies apply this year. No longer will proposals in
special panel areas be submitted directly to special panels chairs.
Instead, CEA prefers to receive all submissions, including those for
special panels, electronically through our conference management
database:

<http://english.ttu.edu/cea/conftool>
http://english.ttu.edu/CEA/conftool/index.php
<http://english.ttu.edu/CEA/conftool/index.php>=20

Electronic submissions open September 15 and close on November 1

Abstracts for proposals should be between 200 and 500 words in length
and should include a title

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. If
submitting a panel, panel organizers should create user IDs for all
proposed participants.=20

Though CEA prefers to receive proposals through the conference database,
we will accept hard copy proposals, postmarked no later than October 15,
via regular mail. Hard copy proposals should include:
