You are invited to submit paper proposals for NYCEA sponsored panels at the College English Association (CEA) Conference to be held in San Antonio, Texas. CEA is the national, parent organization of the NYCEA and other regional CEA affiliates.

We also welcome full panel proposals fitting the above panel topic.

It is our desire to be able to field at CEA a number of panels on the above NYCEA conference theme; it is our intent to create a subset of scholarly communities, arising out of the NYCEA affiliate, within the larger CEA conference community.

CEA is a wonderful organization and its conference has always celebrated scholarly activity in many forms: papers on traditional literary criticism, on writing theory, and on writing and literary teaching pedagogies as they relate to the conference themes.

For each NYCEA sponsored panel, there will be three to four papers; papers must be no more than 15 minutes in reading length.
