Proposals due 31 December 2018

Presentation Format

We welcome proposals to present 15-minute research projects in all areas of literary, rhetorical, and pedagogical studies, as broadly represented in the curriculum of the BYU English Department. In this format, each presenter reads an entire academic paper (papers may need editing to fit the allotted time). Presenters will be grouped together by topic into a panel moderated by a faculty member. At the end of the panel, presenters will answer questions from the audience.
