CFP: MLA Convention (Deadlines Vary; Chicago)


The MLA Convention will be in Chicago this December, which makes it significantly more affordable to attend. Here's the CFP and a link to info about sessions that you might be interested in taking part in.

Calls for Papers for 2007 MLA Convention in Chicago

The 2007 convention will be held in Chicago. Members should familiarize themselves with the guidelines for the MLA
convention, which appear in the September 2006 PMLA (pp. 946–51), before writing to the organizers listed below (link). If not provided, organizers’ addresses are available on the MLA Web site to MLA members and listed in the September 2006
PMLA. All participants in convention sessions must be MLA members by 7 April 2007. Organizers are responsible for re-
sponding to all inquiries. A member may participate as speaker or respondent only twice (e.g., by organizing and chairing
a meeting, reading a paper, or serving as a speaker, panelist, or respondent in one or two sessions) at a single convention.
Calls for papers are limited to thirty-five words, including the session title but not the name or address of the organizer.
Groups that announce two or more calls for papers with the same contact person list the contact person only once.
