UNC Student Organization for Undergraduate Literature

Dear English and Comparative Literature majors and minors:

The 2008 UNC Conference for English Language and Literature is
offering a unique opportunity for undergraduate students to share
their papers and research. Hosted by SOUL and the UNC Department of
English and Comparative Literature, this year it is titled
"Considerations of 19th and 20th Century British Literature."
Attached to this post is the call for papers.

The conference is accepting papers from undergraduates that touch
upon any aspect of British literature, from the Romantics to the
Victorians to modernism to contemporary literature. It is designed to
give you a chance to present your hard work and to gain firsthand
experience in how academic conferences are conducted. Papers written
for your classes at UNC are certainly welcome, as are honors theses
or personal research. For those of you who intend to apply to
graduate school, participating will not only be a boost to your
application and c.v., but will help to prepare you for later
conferences in your academic career. If you do not wish to present a
paper, but still wish to gain academic experience, consider
participating as a proposal reviewer or respondent.

The conference will be held in the afternoon on Saturday, April 5th.
And, yes, there will be refreshments!

Papers should be between 8-10 pages (or, if longer, pared down to a
15 minute presentation). Abstracts will be accepted until 11:59 pm
Monday, March 24th, and can be submitted to unc [dot] cell [at] gmail.com . Any questions about the conference can also be directed to this email address. - Professor Anderson, Anna Willis
