lisajay Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 hey everyone, CSULB is currently accepting abstracts for its second annual interdisciplinary graduate student conference, re/inventions. our theme for 2013 is "hysteria." here's the CFP in case anyone's interested. we're also accepting submissions for the CSULB english department's peer-reviewed scholarly journal, watermark. this year, watermark will feature a special "hysteria" themed supplemental section to coincide with the conference, but the actual CFP is wide open. please feel free to submit, spread the word, &c! thanks!

practical cat Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 I didn't even think of that! But so, so true. The CFP reads not dissimilarly to my SOP and I'm pleased they're giving serious consideration to the comic meaning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lisajay Posted December 7, 2012 Author Share Posted December 7, 2012 i wrote the CFP, so yay! glad to hear it! the original theme was pitched as something like "the evolution of the comic spirit," & someone else wanted a more topical/political theme (last year we did occupation), so i pitched hysteria as a compromise. i think we're all hoping for a decent portion of submissions to embrace the comic angle.

I wish I weren't out of positive votes for the day! This makes me happy and not just because it makes me feel a little more secure in my intuition on the future of the genre. Seriously, thanks for the heads up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
