Each year, SUNY Albany hosts the English Graduate Student Organization Conference. We are currently accepting proposals for creative works to present at our upcoming conference, Race: Embodying Academia, which will take place at the University at Albany in downtown Albany on Friday, April 5 and Saturday, April 6.
We welcome any and all creative works that explore the many ways in which race, racism, and racialization function in academia. Creative writing proposals may include readings of your own creative work, explorations of craft and theory, discussions of creative writing pedagogy, navigating the publishing world, and the professionalization of creative writing related to the conference's themes.
Submission Guidelines:
Please provide a one-page proposal describing your presentation in terms of format: a reading, screening, panel proposal, etc. In the same document, please include an excerpt of the work you propose to present at the conference, following the guidelines below.
