CFP Interdisciplinarity at MCLLM (1/11/10; 3/26-7/10)
Location: Illinois, United States
Call for Papers Deadline: 2010-01-11
Date Submitted: 2009-10-26
Announcement ID: 171509
The 18th annual
Midwest Conference on Language, Literature, and Media (MCLLM) will be held
March 26-27, 2010
at Northern Illinois University in DeKalb, Illinois.
Keynote speaker:
Dr. George Lakoff, University of California-Berkeley, author of Metaphors We
Live By (1980), Women, Fire, and Dangerous Things: What Categories Reveal About
the Mind (1987), Philosophy In The Flesh: the Embodied Mind and its Challenge
to Western Thought (1999), The Political Mind : Why You Can't Understand
21st-Century American Politics with an 18th-Century Brain (2008).
This year's theme is Interdisciplinarity. Inspired by the application of Dr.
Lakoff's theories across various disciplines, the organizers encourage research
at the points of disciplinary intersection that are becoming increasingly
important in academia and our world at large.
We invite proposals for fifteen minute papers from scholars at all stages of
their careers. Topics related to this year's theme may include, but are not
limited to, writing across the curriculum, linguistics and literature,
cross-cultural film studies, technical communication, cognitive research and
application, the construction of gender and ethnicity, language policy, and
theories of knowledge creation; however, MCLLM also welcomes papers on all
areas of language, literature, and media studies.
Individual or panel (three to four people) proposals are welcome.
Deadline for submission: January 11, 2010.
Please include a cover page with your name, affiliation, mailing address, and
e-mail address.
Accepted contributions will be notified via e-mail by January 22, 2010.
Please submit your 250 word abstract as an attachment to mcllm@niu.edu.
