New Voices 2004
5th Annual International Graduate Conference in Language, Literature, and Discourse Studies
Readings, Writings, and Rhetorics
September 16-18, 2004
Georgia State University
Atlanta, GA
In an effort to professionalize contributions to our discipline and its related fields, The Fifth Annual Georgia State University Graduate English Association seeks proposals for individual papers, panels, and roundtables. This year we are particularly interested in submissions that offer innovative ways of reading and writing texts (e.g., creative, hypertextual, visual) and explore traditionally overlooked rhetorics as well as emerging rhetorics. Graduate students from all disciplines are invited to participate.
Though others are welcomed, relevant topics include the following:
• Writing Center Pedagogies and Tutor Research
• Digital and/or Visual Rhetorics
• Civic Rhetoric and Service Learning
• Literary/Critical Theories
• American, British, World Literatures
• Non-Canonical Literatures and Issues of Canonicity
• Gender/Race/Class Studies
• Identity and Liminality Studies
• Creative Writing—Original Works, Theories, Pedagogies
• Composition Pedagogies
• Professional/Technical Writing and Communication
• ESL/EFL Instruction
• Basic Writing Pedagogies
• Language and Discourse Studies
• Writing and Publishing as a Graduate Student
• Writing Across the Curriculum
• Mentoring Relationships
Submission Deadline: April 1, 2004. We will send notification of proposal status no later than mid-May 2004.
Submission Guidelines: Individual papers should fill no more than a 20-minute timeframe. Panels of three (possibly four) individuals should be no longer than 60 minutes, leaving time for audience questions and comments. Roundtables may fill the traditional hour and a half slot.
We encourage electronic submission (Word attachments preferred); however, we will gladly accept hard copy submissions also. When submitting electronically, use “New Voices Submission” in the subject heading. Please send the following to Conference Chairs:
• name

• paper title
• 250-300-word abstract
In the case of panels or roundtables, include all participants in one collective submission. Also, please indicate if and what AV equipment is required for presentation, keeping in mind equipment that is available is limited.
