Text in Context is a graduate student journal published electronically by Southern Connecticut State University. We seek submissions exploring the text itself and its function(s) and implications both internally and externally—literary analysis, poetry studies, critical theory, popular reception of a particular work, close readings, historical relevance, etc. Though the journal primarily deals with English studies, we welcome original papers from other disciplines, provided those papers focus on the text and/or its context—pedagogy and instructional design, localization of language in the brain, regional dialects and their origins, etc.

Language plays an important role in the modern society and represents diverse aspirations, needs, cultures, traditions, and practices. Much the same, literature represents a language or a people, culture and/or tradition. We therefore invite: individual papers, graduate student papers and posters, undergraduate research poster presentations, roundtable discussions on selected topics along with works in progress. We hope to provide an interesting platform for researchers, academics, language practitioners, policymakers and postgraduate candidates to share knowledge,exchange ideas and establish academic relationships.

45th Annual Convention of the Northeast Modern Language Association
3-6 April 2014
Harrisburg, PA
Host: Susquehanna University
The American South and its cultures, traditions, celebrations, music, literature, and dialects have long been a source of fascination, derision, and entertainment for those not Southern. Southerners have the national reputation of backwardness (educationally, politically, diet, and fitness), racist, or zealously religious. These stereotypes continue to be reinforced through the media and, some would argue, by Southerners themselves.
