The University of Iowa, in collaboration with Binghamton University and
the American Council on Education, will host a conference on Cultures
and Languages Across the Curriculum, November 5 - 6, 2005, at the
University of Iowa in Iowa City. The conference will examine
opportunities to expand the role of culture in LAC initiatives and will
consider alternative models that foster the acquisition of
cross-cultural competencies. This conference will also consider other
LAC issues that have not yet been adequately discussed or analyzed,
including: 1) How does LAC relate to comparative literature, cultural
studies, and area studies? 2) How does LAC fit into the international
education missions of U.S. government and industry (the "expert" model
vs. the "metropolitan migrant" model)? 3) How does LAC relate to
content-based language instruction and the development of new
content-based FL textbooks and technology? 4) How can we better link LAC
to K-12 foreign language and cross-cultural education as well as to
post-secondary international education, including study abroad? To offer
a panel presentation or paper, please provide the following, in the form
of MS Word documents attached to an email message:

1. A cover sheet including:

a. Type: Paper (30 minutes, including 10 minutes for open
discussion) or Panel Presentation (90 minutes, including 30 minutes for
