While I’m at it, here are two more interesting calls for proposals in and around New England, both of them offering a rhetoric and composition angle, among others. The first is for Encountering the Text: Reading, Teaching, Theorizing, Writing, at Southern Connecticut State University in New Haven on Saturday, April 24, with a deadline of March 26. The second – well, maybe I’ll actually have a chance to meet Liz: Crossing Borders: A Conference on Interdisciplinary Studies in Writing and Literature is being held at the Rochester Institute of Technology on Friday and Saturday, October 1 and 2; there’s no deadline given for proposals, but I suppose one could just, you know, ask.
I’m anticipating that I might send in proposals for papers that’ll essentially be chapter drafts, in the hopes of having some feedback from folks other than my committee, and also in the hopes of motivating myself to work more quickly on writing that might engage a broader audience than my committee.

I’m pretty sure I’ll be at the SCSU conference in April, and maybe this year I’ll make it up to UNH. I always look at that one and say I should go. Now I have some more incentive ;-)
