*Student plenary competition*

This year we will promote a competition for the best Graduate Student Paper
in Culture, Language, and Social Practice. The winner of this competition
will have their name mentioned in the official conference program and will
be offered a student plenary spot at the conference. This student plenary
will be approximately 45 minutes and will provide an opportunity for the
winner to share their research in more depth than a typical presentation
slot. Note however that the plenary spot is a potential honor and depends
on the quality of submissions received. For consideration in the
competition for the student plenary, authors (graduate students only)
should submit a paper of up to 8,000 words plus references. Your submission
email should indicate whether you would like to be considered for a regular
conference presentation if you do not win the plenary spot. Please email
your (up to) 8,000 word-paper to abstract.clasp2015 at gmail.com by June 15th,
2015. The paper should be attached in Microsoft Word (.doc) or PDF format
and should contain NO information identifying the author(s) of the paper.
