innovative scholarship in an engaging and generative location. The 44th
annual event will be held in historic Boston, Massachusetts, a city known
for its national and maritime history, academic facilities and collections,
vibrant art, theatre, and food scenes, and blend of architecture. The
Convention, located centrally near Boston Commons and the Theatre District
at the Hyatt Regency, will include keynote and guest speakers, literary
readings, film screenings, tours and workshops.
Interested participants may submit abstracts to more than one
NeMLAsession; however, panelists can only present one paper (panel or
seminar).
Convention participants may present a paper at a panel and also present at
a creative session or participate in a roundtable.  http://www.nemla
