OSU Humanities Conference – Call for Papers

The English Graduate Student Association (EGSA) is issuing a call for papers for the annual OSU Humanities Conference, set for March 1 and 2 in Stillwater.  The theme of the conference is “Bridging Disciplines & Communities” an interdisciplinary approach which encourages conversations between graduate students from multiple areas within the humanities and other disciplines.

 

Call for Papers

The conference theme "Bridging Disciplines & Communities" is focused around four subthemes:

Language, Culture, and Performance

This subtheme focuses on how communication is influenced by our perceptions of language and our understanding of culture. We also welcome submissions of original creative works.

Genre, Discourse, and Interaction

This subtheme focuses on "genre" in its multiple disciplinary meanings, including workplace genres and theories around creative, visual, written, and spoken genres. Further, this category seeks to understand how genres create and shape theoretical and practical interactions.
