2nd Annual Brigham Young University
English Graduate Student Conference
The Ethics of Identity

February 26, 2000 — BYU Campus, Provo, Utah

Ethics has gained new resonance in literary studies during the past
dozen years, even if it has not—at least yet—become the
paradigm-defining concept. —Lawrence Buell, “In Pursuit of Ethics.”
PMLA 114.1 (1999): 7.

This conference proposes to explore how ethics shapes identities,
communities, and cultures; how different ethics compare and interact;
how one ethic can or cannot critique another; and how ethics work in
literature and literary criticism.

Sessions to include issues in Literature, Rhetoric and Composition,
Cultural Studies, Pedagogy, Language, and Creative Writing.

Topics could include:
    Postmodern Ethics
    Ethnicity and Identity
    Religious Studies
    Ethics and Rhetoric
    Political Ethics
    Revisionist History
    The Literary Canon
    Pop Culture and Identity
    Ethics and Community in the Classroom
    Identity in Composition
    Ethical Literary Analysis
    Identity and Ethics in Creative Writing
