Seventh Annual Meeting from all areas and on all topics of relevance to 
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 participants in the Sixth Annual meeting must pay registration fees 
by March 16, 2009, to be listed and participate in the program. See the 
registration page of this website for details about fees.

If you have any questions about procedures for submission or other 
concerns, please e-mail us at: csaus at pitt.edu<mailto:csaus at pitt.edu>. We 
welcome proposals in the following four categories:


1. INDIVIDUAL PAPERS
Proposals for individual papers are due September 15, 2008.

Successful papers will reach several constituencies of the organization 
and will connect analysis to social, political, economic, or ethical 
questions.

They should be submitted online on the conference website. Successful 
submission will be acknowledged. If you do not receive an acknowledgment 
within 24 hours, please resubmit. The acknowledgment will say that your 
proposal has been ''successfully submitted,'' which does NOT mean your 
proposal has been accepted.

All paper proposals require:

a. The name, email address, department and institutional affiliation of 
the author, entered on the website.
b. A 500-word abstract for the 20-minute paper entered on the website.
c. Any needed audio-visual equipment must be noted following the 
abstract in that space on the site.


2. PRE-CONSTITUTED PAPER SESSIONS, ROUNDTABLE SESSIONS, OR WORKSHOP SESSIONS
Proposals for pre-constituted sessions are due September 15, 2008.

Roundtables are sessions in which panelists offer brief remarks, but the 
bulk of the session is devoted to discussion among the panelists and 
audience members. Workshops are similarly devoted primarily to 
discussion, but they focus on practical problems in such areas as 
teaching, research, or activism. No paper titles may be included for 
roundtables or workshops.

Pre-constituted sessions should NOT be submitted on the website, but 
should be sent to csaus at pitt.edu<mailto:csaus at pitt.edu> with the words 
''Session Proposal'' in the subject line. All proposals will be 
acknowledged, but please allow at least two business days before inquiring.

All session proposals require:

a. The name, email address, phone number, and department and 
institutional affiliation of the proposer.
b. The names, email addresses, and department and institutional 
affiliations of each participant.
c. A 500-word overview of the session, including identifying the type of 
session (panel, roundtable, workshop) proposed. For paper sessions, also 
include 500-word abstracts of each of the papers. Paper sessions should 
have three or four papers.
d. A request for any needed audio-visual equipment. All AV equipment 
must be requested with the proposal.


3. DIVISION SESSIONS
Division sessions are due September 15, 2008.

A list of divisions is available at 
http://www.csaus.pitt.edu<http://www.csaus.pitt.edu/>. Divisions may 
elect to post calls on that site for papers and procedures for 
submission to division sessions or handle the creation of their two 
division sessions by other means.  Division chairs will submit their two 
panels/workshops/roundtables directly to the program committee by 
September 15, 2008 (directions will be sent to the division chairs). 
Proposals for divisions should NOT be submitted on the website or to 
csaus at pitt.edu<mailto:csaus at pitt.edu>.


4. SEMINAR PROPOSALS
Proposals for seminars are due September 15, 2008.

Seminars are small-group (maximum 15 individuals) discussion sessions 
for which participants prepare in advance of the conference. In previous 
years, preparation has involved shared readings, pre-circulated 
''position papers'' by seminar leaders and/or participants, and other 
forms of pre-conference collaboration. We particularly invite proposals 
for seminars designed to advance emerging lines of inquiry and 
research/teaching initiatives within Cultural Studies broadly construed. 
We also invite seminars designed to generate future collaborations among 
conference attendees. Once a limited number of seminar topics and 
leaders are chosen, the seminars will be announced through the CSA's 
various public e-mail lists. Participants will contact the seminar 
leader(s) directly who will then inform the Program Committee who will 
participate in the seminar.  Seminars will be marked in the conference 
programs as either closed to non-participants or open to other 
conference attendees as auditors (or in other roles).  Examples of 
successful seminar proposals from previous years are linked in here (if 
you are reading this on the website).

All seminar proposals require:
a. A 500-word overview of the topic designed to attract participants and 
clear instructions about how the seminar will work, including details 
about what advanced preparation will be required of seminar participants.
b. The name, email address, phone number, mailing address, and 
departmental and institutional affiliation of the leader(s) proposing 
the seminar.
c. A brief bio or one page CV of the leader(s) proposing the seminar.
d. A request for any needed audio-visual equipment. All AV equipment 
must be requested with the proposal. Since seminars typically involve 
discussion of previously circulated papers, such requests must be explained.

Seminar proposals should be sent to:

Bruce Burgett, Professor and Interim Director, Interdisciplinary Arts 
and Sciences
University of Washington Bothell
burgett at u.washington.edu<mailto:burgett at u.washington.edu>

and

Colin Danby, Associate Professor, Interdisciplinary Arts and Sciences,
University of Washington Bothell
danby at u.washington.edu<mailto:danby at u.washington.edu>

Those interested in participating in (rather than leading) a seminar 
should consult the list of seminars and the instructions for signing up 
for them, available at 
http://www.csaus.pitt.edu<http://www.csaus.pitt.edu/> after October 15, 
2008. Deadline to sign up will be November 14, 2008.  Deadline for 
seminar leaders to submit final lists of participants (minimum 8 
individuals, in addition to the seminar leader or leaders) will be 
November 21, 2008.
