Call for Papers
The Annual One-Day Graduate Student Conference in Editorial Studies will be held at the Editorial Institute at Boston University, 143 Bay State Road, Boston, MA 02215 on April 30, 2016, from 9 am to 5 pm. It will include breakfast, lunch, and an early evening reception.
We look forward to convening approximately thirty graduate students and early-career scholars from such local programs as BU, Harvard, MIT, Boston College, Northeastern, Brandeis, Wellesley, Brown, Tufts, and Simmons.
Format: fifteen- to twenty-minute talks, in any area covered by our multi-disciplinary concept of Editorial Studies, including literature (of all genres and languages, and in translation), art, history, music, drama, philosophy, religion, the sciences, and technology.
We shall consider explorations of manuscripts, texts, performances, the history of books, language, collections, production, publication (including design and typography), dissemination, representations, recovery, preservation, archives, and digital technologies.
We ask that applicants be either PhD candidates or no more than three years past the PhD. We also welcome conversation with potential presenters, both in and beyond the Boston area.
Proposals of 250 words, along with a brief biographical statement, should be submitted by Friday, March 18th to Jeffrey Gutierrez ([log in to unmask]) and/or Mary Erica Zimmer ([log in to unmask]). Abstracts may also be submitted online.
