2024 Midwestern Conference on Literature, Language, & Media (MCLLM)
Reclaiming Legacy: From Foundations to Futures in Coalitions & Communities
This year’s conference theme encourages papers, presentations, and original creative works that explore topics concerned with the intersecting of generational work and identities; what do we build our studies on and what do we leave for the next generation of our identified coalitions and communities?
Submit proposals that speak to the representation and/or involvement of these communities in literature, media, art, games, technology, politics, etc.
MCLLM welcomes proposals from a wide range of disciplines and expression forms. The list below provides a sense of the topics the organizers are interested in seeing, but it is not an all-inclusive list. Please submit a proposal that represents your interpretation of our theme!
- Diversity & Inclusion in Popular Culture
- Gender & Sexuality Studies
- Biased Technology
