CFP: U of Alberta Grad Student Conference

[Gust Olson]

*****************************
CALL FOR PAPERS

The graduate students of the Department of Modern
Languages and Cultural Studies: Germanic, Romance,
Slavic at the University of Alberta in Edmonton,
Canada
invite proposals for their
2nd GRADUATE STUDENT CONFERENCE
March 7th and 8th, 2003

conference theme:
BUILDING BRIDGES, PUTTING UP WALLS
(in language teaching, literature, translation
studies, cultural studies and communication, folklore,
linguistics, anthropology, political science,
sociology, and other applicable fields)

The last few decades have seen significant political,
social and cultural changes throughout the world. New
information technology has facilitated contact between
distant peoples and cultures and provided for a more
accessible medium for exchanging thoughts and ideas.
In some situations, however, the decreased distance
between cultures has also given way to tension and
misunderstanding. This conference invites papers that
deal with the question of how recent changes have
affected different intercultural relations and whether
these changes are influential in the bridging or
distancing of peoples and cultures.

Papers may be given in English or French and should be
no longer than 20 minutes (approximately 10 pages
double-spaced). Proposals should be sent to the
conference committee by e-mail or by regular mail by
January 10, 2003. Proposals should be no more than 250
words in length, single-spaced.
