CLASP III - Call For Papers


The program in Culture, Language and Social Practice at the University of
Colorado at Boulder is pleased to invite abstract and panel proposals for
its 3rd biannual CLASP Conference, October 7-9. Both paper and panel
submissions should address the relationship of language to culture and
society; examples of possible frameworks or analytic traditions may include,
but are not limited to:

   sociolinguistics                             linguistic anthropology
   conversation analysis                   critical discourse analysis
   bilingualism & codeswitching       language socialization
   narrative studies                          verbal art & performance
   language & literacy                      language globaalization

Panel Submissions
Panel proposals should be organized as mini calls for papers in their own
right, suggesting a cohesive topical or methodological theme for potential
submissions. Proposals will be posted to the conference website as they are
received in order to help coordinate paper submissions around a particular
topic.

Organizing a full panel is not necessary for submitting a panel proposal, as
other presenters are likely to submit a paper abstract for a particular
panel independently after seeing it posted here. For those interested in
organizing full panels on their own, please note that panels will be limited
to a total of four papers.

Submission Instructions
Panel proposals of up to 250 words should be submitted by April 30 to the
email address below, and will be posted to the conference website upon
reception. Abstracts of 500 words for 20-minute papers may be submitted for
an individual panel or independently, and should be submitted before May 7.

Paper submissions should be sent as attachments (DOC or PDF) via email
toclasp.conference AT gmail.com, and should only contain the title and
abstract for the paper. The body of the email should contain the following:

Author Name(s)
Affiliation(s)
Paper Title
