Calls for Papers for 2011 Convention in Los AngelesThe 2011 convention will be held in Los Angeles from 6 to 9 January (there will be no convention in 2010). Members should familiarize themselves with the guidelines for the MLA convention (http://www.mla.org/conv_procedures) before responding to calls for papers. If not provided, organizers' addresses are available on the MLA Web site to MLA members (http://www.mla.org/member_search) and listed in the September 2009 PMLA. All participants in convention sessions must be MLA members by 7 April 2010. Organizers are responsible for responding to all inquiries. A member may participate as speaker or respondent only twice (e.g., by organizing and chairing a meeting, reading a paper, or serving as a speaker, panelist, or respondent in one or two sessions) at a single convention.All requests for audiovisual equipment must be made on the appropriate program copy forms and submitted by 1 April 2010. 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 2010. Calls for papers are limited to thirty-five words, including the session title but not the name or address of the organizer. Click here to access the Search Calls for Papers function.

Please send your feedback and comments on this new function to Stacey Courtney at scourtney@mla.org. If you have any trouble with an e-mail address included in a call for papers, please search the members' directory on the MLA Web site or the September (Directory) issue of PMLA.
