    The collective of the 9th annual Crossing The Boundaries Conference invites

    - Rites of passage

    We invite paper and panel proposals, and encourage creative, informal, and
    interactive presentations (e.g. video, performance art, installations, etc.)

    Completed panel proposals are encouraged and enthusiastically received.
    This conference has been established and is run by graduate students.

    Abstracts should be submitted along with a C.V., a separate listing of
    name, paper title, institutional and department affiliation, preferred
