13th Annual Multicultural Conference
Call for Papers

Fear and Loathing: The Springboards of Modern Culture
April 24-26, 2007


Fear and demonization have been some of the most powerful forces
enlisted to create borders between cultures. The call to build a wall
between the US & Mexico, the terms Islamofascism, and surrender monkies,
the glorification of violence in popular media-all are current
expressions of fear and loathing. In America's past we have seen fear
and loathing expressed in regard to Fascism, the Red Scare, the KKK,
Japanese internment camps, the Reservation system, deportations of
foreigners, eradications of languages other than English.

For our thirteenth annual Multicultural Conference we request papers
that deal with the use of fear and loathing- as played out in culture,
in the arts, in politics, in business, in the legal system-in fashioning
both past and present cultural and ethnic divisions.

We invite faculty, administrators, and staff to participate in
delivering presentations or reading creative works within the conference
theme.

Those wishing to present should submit via email a paper title and a
100-150 word abstract outlining the proposed topic and mode of
presentation. Individuals interested in reading creative works should
submit samples of their work. Completed manuscripts should not
exceed 10 double-spaced pages of typescript so that papers can be
presented in a twenty-minute presentation. (Individual submissions
only.)

Final selection of conference participants will be made by November 30,
2006.


Deadline for Submissions: November 10, 2006
