The American Comparative Literature Association (ACLA) will be hosting its 2010 meeting in New Orleans. For more information, please visit the following url: www.acla.org.
The program committee has approved and posted on their website almost all of the seminar proposals. The last few will have been posted by the end of the week. While the program committee will design additional seminars to accommodate submissions which are not
placed in these seminars, the currently posted seminars will give you an excellent idea for the scope and nature of the conference.
The individual paper submission deadline is *Monday 13 November*
(anytime up to 9 p.m. West Coast time will be fine).
Presenters are invited to look at the full listing of seminars and to check out the descriptions that sound most promising for them to participate in. When you then send in a paper proposal, you’ll find a drop-down menu from which to choose the seminar you’d like to have your proposal considered for. If you are among those who have already sent in a paper proposal without a specific seminar specified, you are welcome to look at the list and send us an email (at info@acla.org) to ask for your proposal to be sent to the seminar you’re most interested in joining.
If you know the organizer of your seminar of choice, and even if the organizer has invited you to participate, you should still send in your paper proposal via the “submit a paper proposal” form on the ACLA website, so that your information gets into our database.
If you don’t specify a seminar for your proposal, the conference committee will evaluate it and find the best venue to place each accepted paper. As past committees have done, new seminars will be formed as needed to provide good homes for papers that don’t seem likely to fit well in an already-proposed seminar.
