Call for Papers: “Ebb and Flow: Reading Time in English Studies”
The Graduate Students in the Department of English at the University of Idaho invite submissions for a conference focusing on interdisciplinary considerations of time in texts and within the academy. The conference will take place on Saturday, April 9, 2016, on campus in Moscow, Idaho. The University of Idaho Graduate English Conference invites proposals for papers on the theme “Ebb and Flow: Reading Time in English Studies.” UIGEC welcomes proposals from current graduate students working in any aspect of English studies, including literature, rhetoric and composition, linguistics, and creative writing. Inspired by the rich and shifting relationship between time, literature, and the humanities, this conference seeks to explore new and revitalized ways of conceptualizing time in texts and within the field of English studies.
