Seeking Commonalities: Writing, Literature, and Criticism
Valdosta State University
Saturday, March 27, 2010
Bailey Science Center
The complexities of literature and language studies can fragment graduate students to the degree that they lose sight of the commonalities within their discipline. This conference seeks to reconnect us to the common allure of language, literature, and the contingent sub-disciplines that likely drew us to this multi-faceted field. We encourage submissions, especially from graduate students, on topics related to the conference theme. Some selected categories include
- Technology
- Media Studies
- Popular Culture
- World Literature
- Genre Literature
- Pedagogy in Creative Writing, Literature, and Rhetoric and Composition
- British Literature
- American Literature
- Creative Writing
