2014 Stony Brook English Graduate Conference - "Bonds"
Stony Brook University 2014 Graduate Conference: "Bonds"
We invite paper proposals for our 26th-annual graduate conference, organized by Stony Brook University's Graduate English Society. The conference will be held at Stony Brook Manhattan on March 1, 2014.
This year's theme, "bonds," speaks to a number of important issues in our lives as both students and citizens. Bonds refer to issues of togetherness (representations of marriage, nationalism, and community), economics (financial bonds as well as larger concerns of economic critique in literature and other media), and our sense of responsibility and community in our profession as aspiring educators. We strongly encourage graduate students of all levels PhD, MA, and MAT to submit proposals.
Our keynote speaker will be Eleanor Courtemanche, Associate Professor of English at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Dr. Courtemanche's research concerns Victorian literature and culture; histories of economics, technology, and design; narrative theory; popular culture; urbanism and steampunk. Her first book, The 'Invisible Hand' and British Fiction, 1818-1860: Adam Smith, Political Economy, and the Genre of Realism, was published in 2011.
