CALL FOR PAPERS

The Providence University Department of English Language, Literature and Linguistics is pleased to announce the Graduate Symposium on English Linguistics, Literature & Teaching (GSELLT).

The goal of this conference is to bring together graduate researchers, and provide them with an opportunity to share their work with one another, and with professional researchers in their fields. We especially encourage submissions from graduate students from universities in the area, as well as throughout .

The 2012 GSELLT will take place on the Providence University campus. The conference language, and the language for submissions, is English. Some preference will be given to submissions dealing directly with English language literature, teaching and linguistics. However, work of interest to scholars in the any subfield of linguistics, literature and language education in general will be welcomed submissions as well. Submitters of accepted abstracts will be asked to provide an article- length submission prior to the conference to be published in the GSELLT 2012 proceedings.

Please submit a 500-word abstract by the 20th of January 2012, by email to [email protected]. Abstracts should include: title of the paper, author name(s), institutional affiliation, current position, an email address, and at least 3 keywords that best describe the subject of your submission.
