Site: Hyatt Regency Boston
The 44th annual convention will be held March 21-24 in historic Boston, Massachusetts, a city known for its national and maritime history, academic facilities and collections, vibrant art, theatre, and food scenes, and blend of architecture. The 2013 convention continues the Association’s tradition of sharing innovative scholarship in an engaging and generative location. The Convention, located centrally near Boston Commons and the Theatre District at the Hyatt Regency, will include keynote and guest speakers, literary readings, film screenings, tours and workshops.
The 2013 session proposal form is now available. The deadline for session proposals is April 15, 2012; potential chairs can find guidelines for proposals (including sample session descriptions) on the NeMLA website. The list of accepted sessions will be published in the summer newsletter, as well as online, so make sure to keep updated on the many dynamic topics that will be developing for next year’s conference.
Interested participants may submit abstracts to more than one NeMLA session; however, panelists can only present one paper (panel or seminar). Convention participants may present a paper at a panel and also present at a creative session or participate in a roundtable.
