Conference Registration Form
Until 11 September 2001, we existed in a more or
less safe world. The terrorism that devastated our nation on that date
shook the foundations of every structure of our emotion and intellect.
Positioned now in the aftermath of sifting, sorting, discarding, and reconstructing,
we strive to make sense of life and thought in a changed age. One thing
is certain—it can no longer be business as usual in academia. We invite
proposals that address the kinds of ways we can and should transform our
research and teaching in our now-unsettled age.
Proposals of 500
words engaging the conference theme must
be postmarked by 1 November 2002.Notification
of acceptance will be made soon after 1 December. All presenters must be
paid members of CEA by 20 December 2002.
Proposals for
either individual papers (15 minutes) or single-focused sessions or forums
(60 minutes) must include:
-
phone numbers, e-mail
addresses, and postal addresses of organizer and all participants;
-
a description of content and method, with attention
to how the topic addresses the conference theme.
All presenters, please note:
-

Only one paper or panel per person
