February 8 - Deadline for Submitting Abstracts for EGO Research Colloquium
Following last spring's very successful conference, the English Graduate Organization is once again soliciting abstracts in all English-related fields (Literature, Rhetoric, Professional and Technical Communication, Linguistics, Theory) for the second annual intra-departmental English research colloquium. The deadline for abstracts is Wednesday, February 8.
The goal of the colloquium is the same as last year: to promote active participation in the academic scholarship of our field in an informal, friendly atmosphere. We are interested in submissions from faculty, graduate students, and junior and senior English majors.
We invite research at all levels of completion, whether recently published or still in progress. Please let us know if you need any technical equipment.
Once we have received all submissions, we will organize panels and print out and distribute a schedule of panel times and locations. The colloquium is Saturday, March 18 in Haley Center.
To submit an abstract or ask questions, please contact a member of the EGO Colloquium Committee: Stephanie Bogle, Sarah Godwin, Jeri Peters, or Mary Ann Rygiel.
