We encourage submissions from scholars, educators, and students at all levels, and from disciplines including anthropology, communications, cultural studies, film studies, GLBT studies, history, literature, media studies, popular culture, sociology, and television studies. Selected papers will be published (with author's permission) in a special anthology pertaining to the conference theme. As a bonus, please note that the conference dates allow presenters to take advantage of a much-needed weekend getaway before the end-of-semester "insanity" kicks in!

Persons submitting individual-paper proposals are asked to submit a one-page abstract with complete contact information (name, institutional affiliation, snail-mail and e-mail addresses, daytime telephone number, fax number). Panel proposals (featuring three paper-presentations total) should include panel title, brief description of panel theme, name of the panel chair, one-page abstracts of each paper in the panel, and complete contact information for each presenter on the panel (name, institutional affiliation, snail-mail and e-mail addresses, daytime telephone number, fax number). In order to be considered, all proposals must be received no later than February 2, 2005. Individuals will be notified of the status of their proposals within two weeks of the submission deadline.
