SOUTHWEST SYMPOSIUM 2000
CALL FOR PAPERS
11th Annual Southwest Symposium
The Western Experience: Defining the American Imagination
The Southwest Symposium, an interdisciplinary conference sponsored by
graduate students from the University of New Mexico English Department,
invites you to submit an abstract for the April 1 and April 2, 2000
conference.
While our focus will primarily be on the literature of the West, we
encourage participation from any discipline including (but not limited to)
fine arts, film and history of the West. We would like to emphasize
Western and Southwestern topics. Perspectives on Chicano literature,
Native American literature and "New West" studies are welcome.
Creative works are also welcome.
We welcome individual proposals; however, because of the interdisciplinary
nature of the conference, we will give preference to panel proposals of
three to four people.
All submissions will be chosen anonymously. Please submit an abstract of no
more than 250 words with a brief cover letter identifying your name,
address, and abstract title. Do not put your name or your university
affiliation on the abstract.
Please indicate if you would also like to be considered for inclusion in
the Southwest Symposium publication that will be distributed at the
conference. This is a yearly publication that features selected
submissions of conference participants.
Deadline: January 18, 2000
Submit abstracts to:
