Meeting Description:

University at Buffalo Department of Romance Languages and Literatures 
Graduate Student Association presents 

(R)Evolution in Romance Languages and Literatures  
October 1st and 2nd 2010 

Call for Papers
 
Since the collapse of the Roman Empire, the languages of the former have
evolved, transformed, and spread across the globe. The Romance languages and
literatures diverged and reencountered each other, provoking cultural,
linguistic, and literary changes and exchanges. These (r)evolutions continue
into the present era and enrich our understanding of a shared past, present, 
and future. In order to enrich the academic conversation and establish
connections, the objectives of this conference are:  
 
- To foster dialogues and interdisciplinary approaches to Romance languages and
literatures 
 
- To showcase future scholars and create a forum for young scholars to converse
across disciplines about trends in research and pedagogy  
 
- To encourage the discussion of connections between Romance literatures and 
languages and between literary studies and linguistics 
 
- To connect literary and linguistic research with other fields such as history,
anthropology, philosophy, sociology, education, psychology, media studies, and
the arts 
 
Potential topics include:  
 
Language policy and planning 
Social linguistics 
Literary pragmatics 
Language contact 
Second language acquisition  
Teaching methodology 
Language evolution 
Bilingualism 
Globalization 
Migration       
Local cultures 
Law        
History 
 
Deadline for abstracts is extended to August 1st. Papers will be accepted in
Romance languages and English. The RLL GSA aims to publish the proceedings of
the conference. Abstracts should be 250 words. Send abstract with proposed title
as an attachment in Microsoft Word or PDF to UBRomance at gmail.com.  
 
This event is sponsored by the Romance Languages and Literatures Graduate
Student Association.  

Conference will be held on the University at Buffalo, North Campus.
