Meeting Description:

Organized by UAA Department of English graduate students, the 20th annual
Pacific Rim Conference on English Studies welcomes proposals in literature,
composition and rhetoric, linguistics, anthropology, journalism, history, and
other related fields. The theme of this year’s conference is “Negotiating
Identity through Authentic Voice.” For this year’s conference, presenters and
speakers are asked to consider how we as individuals negotiate an authentic,
unique voice despite the various roles and situations we are required to
navigate in our daily lives, how our voices transmit aspects of our
identities, and how we come to find our voice when faced with new rhetorical
situations and styles of communication.

Call for Papers:

Throughout our lives, we learn to adapt to different social, professional, and academic styles of discourse. Our voices are a major tool for expressing who we are and what we value in these varied situations. Through our authentic voices, we reflect and determine both who we are and what we stand for. Through examination of authentic voice (written, verbal, and/or visual) we strive to understand how identity is both developed and expressed in our communication with one another. At this year’s conference, we hope to explore some of these questions:

- How do our unique, authentic voices build on and determine our individual or collective identities?
- Through what methods do we adapt our voice to fit the expectations of different rhetorical situations?
- How do we adapt our authentic voice in unfamiliar styles and discourse communities?
- How might technology help or hinder our expression of identity through authentic voice?
- Is it possible to avoid the unique, individual nature of voice?  If so, why might we choose to do so?

Individual Paper Proposals: Please send a 250 word abstract for a 20-minute presentation, including the title of the paper, your name, institutional affiliation, mailing address, phone and fax number, and email address. 

Panel Proposals: In addition to providing detailed contact information for each panel member, please send an abstract of no more than 500 words summarizing the panel and describing each paper.

Roundtable Proposals: In addition to providing detailed contact information for each participant, please send a title and an abstract of no more than 250 words for the proposed roundtable discussion topic.

In addition to the aforementioned requirements, your abstract(s) should connect your topic(s) to this year’s conference theme. Please submit your proposals to uaapacrim at gmail.com no later than January 12, 2015.
