Conferences & Funding

Attention grad students: The Northeast Modern Language Association (NeMLA) has issued a call for abstracts! Visit their site to submit. As always, remember that if you decide to submit proposals to any conferences, be sure to consider applying for funding. See the Graduate Studies Office’s webpage on  Conference Travel Funding . Remember that you have to apply for the funding before you attend the conference. (In recent years, the funding has tended to run out early in the spring semester.) The Northeast Modern Language Association's 2018 keynote speaker will be Professor Rob Nixon, the Currie C. and Thomas A. Barron Family Professor in the Humanities and the Environment at Princeton University. He is the author of Slow Violence and the Environmentalism of the Poor, which won numerous awards, including the International Studies Association for the best book in environmental studies.

The competition for graduate student research fellowships for the Summer of 2018 is now open. The deadline for applications is Monday, January 20, 2018. For details regarding eligibility requirements, application procedures, and the required cover page to be appended to any submitted proposals, please visit the “ Graduate Student Summer Research Fellowship ” found on the Graduate Studies website. If you have a scholarly project for which you would like summer support, please discuss this with a faculty member in your program who will be willing to formally sponsor your effort.
