Submission Opportunity: NeMLA

From the Offical Homepage

English majors and minors in all tracks are encouraged to submit research proposal for the 50th annual Northeast Modern Language Association (NeMLA) convention to be held in Washington, D.C., March 21-24.

NeMLA is holding its first undergraduate research forum and seeks three- to five-minute oral presentations, plus poster presentations. These presentations must feature innovative arguments that converse with existing scholarship.  This year's theme is "Transnational Spaces: Intersections of Cultures, Languages, and Peoples." 

Interested students need to submit a 300-word abstract, bibliography, and 100-word bio by December 1. Those selected will be notified by NeMLA by January 1 and will receive mentorship on writing and structuring their presentations.  A $100 cash prize will be awarded by a panel of judges to the student with the most compelling presentation.

Bloomsburg students accepted for the conference are eligible for funding from the English Department (which pays conference registration fees for students) and well as travel grants from Professional U and the College of Liberal Arts. The department may also be able to provide transportation to the convention.
