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

Send your 300-word abstracts to Kristy Singletary at kmurphy@valdosta.edu by Friday, January 30, 2010. Selections will be announced via e-mail by Monday, February 15, 2010.
