and 1930"

American Literature Association Annual Conference
May 22-25, 2003
Hyatt Regency Cambridge
Cambridge, MA

Proposals Due January 13
Notification of Acceptance by January 30

Call for Papers:
The purpose of this panel is to share and discuss innovative approaches to
the teaching of American texts published between 1900 and 1930. The focus
will be on specific classroom strategies for individual texts rather than
innovative syllabi or course designs. (A unit on several short texts, such
as poems, will be considered if appropriate.) Pedagogical strategies for
all college levels and class sizes are welcome, including large or small
undergraduate surveys, advanced undergraduate seminars, graduate surveys,
and graduate seminars. Papers may be informed by pedagogical theory, but
this is not a requirement. The format will be informal roundtable
discussion. Presentations will be 15 minutes in length. Please send
1-page abstracts by January 13 to the address below. E-mail submissions
are encouraged.
