Subject: CFP: Carnival of Thought
CALL FOR PAPERS
The Second Annual Graduate English Student Conference
at Kent State University
Conference date: Saturday, March 18, 1995
A CARNIVAL OF THOUGHT
Please join us, the graduate students in English at Kent State Univ.,
in a carnival of thought. The metaphor of the carnival can provide
several meanings that will be of use to our conference: the carnival
as a composition of dissimilar elements unified only by their
juxtaposition, the carnival as a time of cathartic release, the
carnival as a celebration of all the possibilities within a community.
This conference will celebrate the multiple disciplines within the
studies of language, literature, and other literate practices.
Graduate students need opportunities to present individual scholarship;
therefore, we are seriously interested in having your submissions
shape the focus of sessions within the conference. Proposals for
papers and panels are encouraged.
Possible subjects may include, but are not limited to, the following:
pedagogy, psychoanalysis, comparative literature, popular culture,
gender studies, history and literature, composition theory, and
cultural criticism. Please submit a one-page abstract for a 15-20
minute presentation.
Deadline for abstracts: January 15, 1995
Notification of acceptance will be sent by February 1, 1995
