The Association welcomes proposals for panels or for individual papers from all areas of Cultural Studies (including but not limited to literature, history, sociology, geography, anthropology, communications, popular culture, cultural theory, queer studies, critical race studies, feminist studies, postcolonial studies, media and film studies, material culture studies, performance and visual arts studies).

All proposals must be received no later than December 1, 2003. The program will be published on February 15. Paper and panel proposals should be no more than 300 words in length and should be sent to . As part of the conference a special series of panels will be devoted to the concept of Persona. Persona deals with the presentation of the public self and its articulation both in everyday activities and mediated constructions. We encourage the submission of papers that address this topic. Key areas may include celebrity, leadership & display, fame, the role of recognition, sexual/gender/ethnic identity, etc. Those wanting to have their papers considered for the Persona panels, should indicate their interest by addressing their abstracts directly to P.
