Short Story (SCMLA hybrid conference session); proposals deadline EXTENDED 30 April 22
We seek paper abstracts for a panel on the short story (and other forms of short narrative broadly conceived). This panel will be conducted at SCMLA’s 79th Annual Hybrid Conference, to be held in Memphis, Tennessee from October 13-15, 2022. The conference offers options for both In Person and Virtual attendance to suit presenters’ needs.
Papers might cover any variety of topics, including studies of the traditional 'short story' literary genre as well as other types of short narrative — like short-program multimedia, short films, music videos, short-episode video games, social media micro-literature, and anything else that pushes at the boundaries of literature studies.
If you are interested, please submit a paper title and abstract of approximately 400 words to
Jennessa Hester (jennessa.hester@ttu.edu)
and Scott L. Baugh (scott.baugh@ttu.edu)
by (extended deadline) 30 April 2022.
