"Seeking Commonalities: Writing, Literature, and Criticism" Abstract deadline: January 30, 2010

updated: 
Friday, January 15, 2010 - 9:15pm
Wiregrass Conference in English Studies

The conference is sponsored by Valdosta State University's English Graduate Student Association.

The complexities of literature and language studies can fragment graduate students to the degree that they lose sight of the commonalities among the components of their discipline. This conference seeks to reconnect us to the common allure of language, literature, and the contingent sub-disciplines that likely drew us to this multi-faceted field. We encourage submissions, especially from graduate students, on topics related to the conference theme.

[UPDATE] CFP: With Laughter for All: Toward a New Anthology of American Humor-- American Literature Assn. (May; Jan 20 deadline)

updated:

American Humor Studies Association

The American Humor Studies Association seeks proposals for a round-table session at the American Literature Association Conference at the Hyatt Regency San Francisco, Embarcadero Center, on May 27-30, 2010.

Session 1—
With Laughter for All: Toward a New Anthology of American Humor
Roundtable Session

For a long time, many humor scholar-teachers have been frustrated by the lack of a humor anthology that serves our teaching needs. Blair's survey/anthology is a great work, but it is now 75 years old. Cohen and Dillingham have done the Southwest, but there are other American humor traditions equally deep and rich; a comprehensive anthology would bring together pieces that are currently difficult to find or simply inaccessible.
