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, early modern, science 
technology studies, material culture studies, performance and visual 
arts studies.

All participants in the Eighth Annual meeting must pay registration fees 
by February 16, 2010, 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. We have extended the 
deadline for proposals in the following three categories:


1. INDIVIDUAL PAPERS
Proposals for individual papers are due September 22, 2009.

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 
acknowledgement within 24 hours, please resubmit. The acknowledgement 
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.

**Please note, although the form says you need to upload a paper, you 
only need to upload an abstract.


2. PRE-CONSTITUTED PAPER SESSIONS, ROUNDTABLE SESSIONS, OR WORKSHOP SESSIONS
Proposals for pre-constituted sessions are due September 22, 2009.

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 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. SEMINAR PROPOSALS
Proposals for seminars are due September 22, 2009.

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:

Toby Miller, Professor of Media and Cultural Studies, University of
California, Riverside. tobym at ucr.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 after October 15, 2009. 
Deadline to sign up will be November 14, 2009.  Deadline for seminar 
leaders to submit final lists of participants (minimum 8 individuals, in 
addition to the seminar leader(s)) November 21, 2009.
