Meeting Description:

Call for Papers:

Organized by Department of English graduate students at the University of Alaska Anchorage, the 16th annual Pacific Rim Conference on Literature and Rhetoric welcomes proposals in literary studies, composition and rhetoric, linguistics, history, anthropology, and other related fields. This year's conference examines the relationships among identity, language, and pedagogy in the context of world Englishes. In ''English worldwide,'' David Crystal poses the question, ''What happens to a language when it is spoken by many times more people as a second or foreign language than as a mother tongue?'' We seek to explore the implications of English's role as an arguably global lingua franca: for instance, what are the cultural and linguistic consequences of English's use in facilitating the development of global technologies and sciences, or in furnishing international political proceedings with a common dialogic space? The following represents a sample of potential presentation topics:

Literature in World English
Cultural neutrality
Opposition: cultural imperialism
Local uses, local identities
Many Englishes: dialects, global and local Englishes
Dual standard: commoditization of standardized English
Multicultural identities
Post?colonial approaches to texts
The evolution of international English
The English Internet
Science and technology
Multilingual learning
English only movements
Stories of English

Individual paper proposals: Please send a 500 word abstract for 20?minute papers, including the title of the paper; presenter's name and institutional affiliation; mailing address, phone and fax number, and e?mail address.

Panel proposals: In addition to providing detailed contact information for each panel member, please send an abstract (700 words max.) summarizing the panel's rationale and describing each paper.

Submit proposals to pacrimconference2011 at gmail.com by January 7, 2011.
