Call for Papers and Sessions

The Cultural Studies Association (U.S.) invites participation in its 
Seventh Annual Meeting from all areas and on all topics of relevance to 
Cultural Studies, including but not limited to literature, history, 
sociology, geography, anthropology, communications, popular culture, 
cultural theory, queer studies, critical race studies, feminist studies, 
postcolonial studies, media and film studies, material culture studies, 
performance and visual arts studies.

All participants in the Sixth Annual meeting must pay registration fees by 
March 16, 2009, to be listed and participate in the program. See the 
registration page of this website for details about fees.

If you have any questions about procedures for submission or other 
concerns, please e-mail us at: [log in to unmask] We welcome proposals in the 
following four categories:


1. INDIVIDUAL PAPERS
Proposals for individual papers are due September 15, 2008.

Successful papers will reach several constituencies of the organization and 
will connect analysis to social, political, economic, or ethical questions.

They should be submitted online on the conference website. Successful 
submission will be acknowledged. If you do not receive an acknowledgment 
within 24 hours, please resubmit. The acknowledgment will say that your 
proposal has been ''successfully submitted,'' which does NOT mean your 
proposal has been accepted.

All paper proposals require:

a. The name, email address, department and institutional affiliation of the 
author, entered on the website.
b. A 500-word abstract for the 20-minute paper entered on the website.
c. Any needed audio-visual equipment must be noted following the abstract 
in that space on the site.


2. PRE-CONSTITUTED PAPER SESSIONS, ROUNDTABLE SESSIONS, OR WORKSHOP SESSIONS
Proposals for pre-constituted sessions are due September 15, 2008.

Roundtables are sessions in which panelists offer brief remarks, but the 
bulk of the session is devoted to discussion among the panelists and 
audience members. Workshops are similarly devoted primarily to discussion, 
but they focus on practical problems in such areas as teaching, research, 
or activism. No paper titles may be included for roundtables or workshops.

Pre-constituted sessions should NOT be submitted on the website, but should 
be sent to [log in to unmask] with the words ''Session Proposal'' in the 
subject line. All proposals will be acknowledged, but please allow at least 
two business days before inquiring.

All session proposals require:

a. The name, email address, phone number, and department and institutional 
affiliation of the proposer.
b. The names, email addresses, and department and institutional 
affiliations of each participant.
c. A 500-word overview of the session, including identifying the type of 
session (panel, roundtable, workshop) proposed. For paper sessions, also 
include 500-word abstracts of each of the papers. Paper sessions should 
have three or four papers.
d. A request for any needed audio-visual equipment. All AV equipment must 
be requested with the proposal.


3. DIVISION SESSIONS
Division sessions are due September 15, 2008.

A list of divisions is available at 
<http://www.csaus.pitt.edu/>http://www.csaus.pitt.edu. Divisions may elect 
to post calls on that site for papers and procedures for submission to 
division sessions or handle the creation of their two division sessions by 
other means.  Division chairs will submit their two 
panels/workshops/roundtables directly to the program committee by September 
15, 2008 (directions will be sent to the division chairs). Proposals for 
divisions should NOT be submitted on the website or to [log in to unmask]


4. SEMINAR PROPOSALS
Proposals for seminars are due September 15, 2008.

Seminars are small-group (maximum 15 individuals) discussion sessions for 
which participants prepare in advance of the conference. In previous years, 
preparation has involved shared readings, pre-circulated ''position 
papers'' by seminar leaders and/or participants, and other forms of 
pre-conference collaboration. We particularly invite proposals for seminars 
designed to advance emerging lines of inquiry and research/teaching 
initiatives within Cultural Studies broadly construed. We also invite 
seminars designed to generate future collaborations among conference 
attendees. Once a limited number of seminar topics and leaders are chosen, 
the seminars will be announced through the CSA's various public e-mail 
lists. Participants will contact the seminar leader(s) directly who will 
then inform the Program Committee who will participate in the 
seminar.  Seminars will be marked in the conference programs as either 
closed to non-participants or open to other conference attendees as 
auditors (or in other roles).  Examples of successful seminar proposals 
from previous years are linked in here (if you are reading this on the 
website).

All seminar proposals require:
a. A 500-word overview of the topic designed to attract participants and 
clear instructions about how the seminar will work, including details about 
what advanced preparation will be required of seminar participants.
b. The name, email address, phone number, mailing address, and departmental 
and institutional affiliation of the leader(s) proposing the seminar.
c. A brief bio or one page CV of the leader(s) proposing the seminar.
d. A request for any needed audio-visual equipment. All AV equipment must 
be requested with the proposal. Since seminars typically involve discussion 
of previously circulated papers, such requests must be explained.

Seminar proposals should be sent to:

Bruce Burgett, Professor and Interim Director, Interdisciplinary Arts and 
Sciences
University of Washington Bothell
[log in to unmask]

and

Colin Danby, Associate Professor, Interdisciplinary Arts and Sciences,
University of Washington Bothell

Those interested in participating in (rather than leading) a seminar should 
consult the list of seminars and the instructions for signing up for them, 
available at <http://www.csaus.pitt.edu/>http://www.csaus.pitt.edu after 
October 15, 2008. Deadline to sign up will be November 14, 2008.  Deadline 
for seminar leaders to submit final lists of participants (minimum 8 
individuals, in addition to the seminar leader or leaders) will be November 
21, 2008.
