Stony Brook University's Annual Graduate Conference, the longest running
graduate conference in the country, focuses on incipient and ongoing research
emerging  from the graduate community. Held on our Manhattan campus, the
conference's location reflects the vital, intellectual, and exploratory
atmosphere that our past conferences have engendered.

We are pleased to  announce that our keynote speaker will be H. Aram Veeser,
Ph.D., Associate Professor of the City College of New York, who  will present
his work regarding Edward Said.

Because this  conference addresses the variety of graduate experience and
interest, nationally  as well as internationally, we invite submissions for
presentations, panels, and  workshops that address any period or genre of
literary study.

Possible areas of  inquiry include, but are not limited to:
Race/Ethnicity/Multi-Culturalism
Critical Theory
Composition and Creative Writing
Philosophy and Rhetoric
Narrative
Cultural Studies
State of the Profession
Gender Studies and Sexuality

World Literature
Medievalism/Early Modern Studies
Renaissance
Multi-Disciplinary Studies

While we are particularly interested in proposals that focus on the above
subjects, papers and panels that concern all aspects from the various fields
of literary interest will be considered.

Individual presenters should submit a 250 word abstract; include your name,
complete mailing address, and email address. Proposals for panels should
include an abstract for each presenter, as well as names, addresses and email
addresses of all participants. Abstracts submitted as email attachments in
