The Third Annual Graduate Conference on Language and Literature hosted by the
University of Louisiana at Lafayette, will be held April 2-3, 2004.
Dr. Steve Watt, head of the English Department at Indiana University
and author of Academic Keywords: A Devil's Dictionary for Higher
Education, will be this year's keynote speaker. Dr. Watt's major research
interests include Irish American studies and drama and theater history, as
well as the economics of graduate education and the state of the university.
This year's topic, "Texts and Cultural Contexts," should be construed
broadly in exploring both the texts we read, and the cultural contexts
that give them meaning. This exploration may take many shapes. Possible
topics and approaches may include: race, gender, class and identity,
Cultural Studies, Folklore, material culture and oral culture, Theoretical
approaches, Rhetoric, Linguistic, and Interdisciplinary approaches.
Presenters may submit papers for the Darrell Bourque Award. This generous
monetary award has been established to recognize excellence in scholarly
writing, and is open to all presenters at the conference. To be eligible
for the award, candidates' proposals must first be accepted for
presentation, then the full-length conference paper must be submitted by
the March 17, 2004 deadline for consideration.
Please submit 300-500 word proposals for 15 - 20 minute presentations by
November 21, 2003. Please send your name, institutional affiliation,
physical address, e-mail address, phone number, and a brief biographical
note with all submissions. Abstracts may be mailed to:
