CALL FOR PAPERS
Pennsylvania College English Association (PCEA) Conference
April 12-14, 2007
Carriage House at Holiday Inn
West Chester, PA
PCEA invites proposals for panels or individual papers for the annual
conference to be held April 12-14, 2007 in West Chester, PA.
PATHS TO FREEDOM
Chester County provided an important link on the Underground Railroad,
providing some of the most frequented stops for slaves heading north to
freedom. Frederick Douglass visited West Chester often, giving his last
public lecture at West Chester University. Later, Route 30, one of the main
roads through West Chester, was the first coast-to-coast highway, offering
freedom for those who chose to take it. In keeping with the theme of our
locale, we invite proposals related to the topic of freedom, such as issues
and/or themes of freedom found in literature and film, the freedom to read
and write, or the freedom gained by reading and writing. In addition to
special sessions on the topic of freedom, we will consider all proposals
related to the study and/or teaching of film, literature, composition and
linguistics, as well as creative work.
Proposals are due by January 31, 2007, and should include the following
information:
Name
Institutional Affiliation (if applicable)
Mailing Address (including zip code)
Phone number
E-mail address
Title of proposed presentation
250-500 word abstract
