The Department of English requests proposals of no more than two pages for
papers to be presented at the Conference on Baseball in Literature and

metaphorically in literature (or film, art, and music) and the ways in which
it reflects or contributes to American culture historically, sociologically,
economically, politically, etc. Culture is interpreted loosely to allow for
a range of proposals on a variety of interests. Not wanted are proposals
comparing statistics on players and/or teams. Send proposals to Michael
