In the first year of the new millennium, CEA, like Walt Whitman, wishes to be inclusive and invites papers from all aspects of study found in English departments. Papers involving literature, composition, pedagogy, film, technical writing, popular culture, and other topics that interest teachers and students are welcomed.  Just as Whitman looked backward over past events and forward to the future, papers may concern both past eras and current or future subjects.

Proposals of 500 words are due by October 15, 2000. Notification of acceptance will be made by November 15, and all presenters must be members of CEA by December 15, 2000.

Proposals for single-focused sessions or forums (60 minutes) should include:

• curriculum vitae for the organizer;
• phone number, e-mail, and address of organizer and all participants;
• an overview of the planned session; and
• a description of the target audience.

• Presenters must be members of CEA and must register for the conference. Presenters must wear conference badges during their sessions.
• Only one paper per person will be accepted.
• Presenters and other members are eligible to serve as chairs and respondents for sessions. Notify the program chair if you wish to serve as a chair or respondent.
• Any paper read at regional CEA meetings should be so identified and revised before the November 15 deadline.
• A $50 award will be given for an outstanding paper presented by a graduate student. Individuals must identify themselves as graduate students to the program chair when submitting the paper and include three copies of the paper. To be eligible, papers must be postmarked by October 15, 2000.
