Writing into the Profession: Enacting and Exploring Roles of the English Scholar; Deadline: May 31, 2011

Saturday, September 24 2011

For its sixth annual interdisciplinary conference in English studies, the University of North Carolina at Greensboro's English Graduate Student Association invites you to join them as they work to build a community of graduate scholars. This conference provides forums for ongoing research in an encouraging and receptive academic environment. Additionally, the Writing into the Profession conference brings graduate scholars into contact with established professionals who can answer questions about best practices, research methods, and the field of English Studies.

Instead of asking you to bend your interests to a specific theme, this conference allows you to explore what it means to be part of the English profession as you present your work, honestly engage your peers’ work, and participate in a comfortable, open forum with current professionals who will answer questions you may have about the daily practices of scholars in our field.

Individual and panel proposals will be accepted on topics relating to English Studies including: literature, composition and rhetoric, creative writing and nonfiction, and critical theory. For individual proposals, please submit a one-page proposal describing your current project by May 31, 2011 via email to uncg.egsa.graduateconference@gmail.com. Panel proposals should be submitted to the same email address, by May 31, 2011, and should include the following: panel title, organizer/moderator’s name and contact information, names and contact information for panelists, a short description of the panel topic, and abstracts of the papers included in the panel.
