The Department of Foreign Language Education at Middle East Technical

fine arts. We welcome papers on any aspect of Ali Smith’s work from
any theoretical perspective. Proposals by graduate students are also

METU BNIC has long served as an international forum for exploring the
work of British novelists from various historical periods. Over the
years, it has hosted many prominent scholars and authors as keynote
speakers. We are proud to announce that this year’s keynote speaker is
Professor Mark Currie of Queen Mary University of London.
Proposals for 20-minute papers (approximately 200 words) should be
