Host Institution: Rutgers University
Site: Hyatt New Brunswick
Convenient by train to Newark Airport and New York City, Rutgers University is welcoming NeMLA to this beautiful university town. NeMLA’s annual convention features more than 350 sessions, representing all subject areas of the modern languages and literatures, covering a broad spectrum of scholarship and advancing innovative approaches to teaching. The first sessions begin at 2 P.M. Thursday, April 7 and the final sessions run until noon Sunday, April 10.
NeMLA and Rutgers University are working together to bring top scholars as speakers and to create special events for the 2011 Convention, drawing on the rich resources of the area. The Convention will be kicked off with a reading by New Jersey poets at the Zimmerli Art Museum on Thursday evening.
NeMLA is a member-driven convention, accepting session proposals (panel, roundtable, creative session, seminar) in the following areas:
American / Anglophone / British / Canadian / Comparative Languages / Composition / Cultural Studies and Film / French and Francophone / German / LGBTQ / Italian / Pedagogy / Portuguese / Professional / Spanish / Russian / Eastern European / Theory and Literary Criticism / Transnational Studies / Women's Studies / World Literatures (non-Western European language)
Please help NeMLA extend the conversation in these areas. The call for papers is now available: http://www.nemla.org/convention/2011/cfp.html. Consider submitting an abstract for one of the 2011 sessions. Abstracts are due by 30 September 2010 unless otherwise noted.
2011 membership is required to present at the convention; membership for 2011 can be purchased beginning in October after abstracts have been accepted.
