Calls for Papers for 2013 Convention in BostonIf you wish to submit a call for papers for the 2013 convention, please click here. To see a list of the calls for papers, click the links on the bottom of this page. The list of calls for papers will be updated as new calls are posted, so we recommend checking this page regularly for updates. Calls for papers for the 2013 MLA convention will be viewable from August 2011 through March 2012. The 2013 convention will be held in Boston from 3 to 6 January. Members should familiarize themselves with the guidelines for the MLA convention before responding to calls for papers. If the organizer's address is not provided in the call for papers, it will be available on the MLA Web site to MLA members. All participants in convention sessions must be MLA members by 7 April 2012. Organizers are responsible for responding to all inquiries. A member may participate (e.g., by organizing and chairing a meeting, reading a paper, or serving as a speaker, presider, or respondent) only twice at a convention. Please note: A call for papers is not a session proposal but a way to solicit paper submissions. Program copy forms for the 2013 convention will be available at www.mla.org/convention after the 2012 MLA convention. Completed program copy forms must be submitted by 1 April 2012. All requests for audiovisual equipment must be made on the appropriate program copy forms and submitted by 1 April 2012. Because the need for audiovisual equipment is a major factor in the scheduling of meetings (and because the movement of equipment is both costly and hazardous), the deadline is firm. Participants must indicate their audiovisual needs when they respond to a call for papers and should check with the chair of the session or with the MLA convention office to be sure that the necessary equipment has been ordered by 1 April 2012. Calls for papers are limited to thirty-five words, including the session title but not the name or address of the organizer. Browse a list of calls for papers. Calls are listed alphabetically by type of session. Search the listings by the name of the person who posted the call or by a specific word contained in the call for papers.
