Call for Papers

Phillip Sipiora (psipiora [at] gmail.com), Maggie McKinley (mmckinle [at] harpercollege.edu), J. Michael Lennon (jmlennon1 [at] charter.net), and Gerald Lucas (gerald.lucas [at] mga.edu) are the program co-chairs. Please email them with ideas for panels, papers or special events.

Two or three papers will be presented in one-hour time slots, with the remaining time going to participant discussion and audience questions. Panels will also run for one hour, as will most video screenings. Please indicate media requirements in your proposal. $100 travel grants are available for students whose proposals are approved.
