SCMLA Annual Conference
The Whitehall Hotel, Houston, Texas, October 7-9, 2021
The CFP for SCMLA 2021 is now open.
We are pleased to announce that after last year's postponement, SCMLA 2021 has been rescheduled and will take place in Houston, TX at the historic Whitehall Hotel (as previously planned) from October 7-9, 2021. We are planning for an in-person conference this fall, but we will provide a virtual platform for those who are unable to attend in person and still wish to participate. Details about the 2021 SCMLA conference and membership are listed on our website.
This year's theme is "Politics of Protest," but you may propose a paper on any topic related to the study of French and Francophone women authors, the study of women's place in French and Francophone cultures or literature, and/or feminist literary criticism. As an Allied/Regular Affiliation, SCMLA will allow us one guaranteed session. All submissions from the 2020 conference have been carried over, but If there is sufficient interest, SCMLA will allow us to have a split-session.
For the WIF open panel, please send a 250-300 word abstract in French or English on any topic by April 10, 2021 to me, the Chair: Theresa Kennedy, Baylor University, (Theresa_Kennedy@baylor.edu) and to the Secretary, South Central Regional Representative: Siham Bouamer, Sam Houston State University (sbouamer@shsu.edu).
WIF members may also propose a special session. More information may be found on the website (see link below). The deadline for special sessions is also April 10, 2021. Please let me know if you have an idea for a special session.
If your proposal for the WIF open panel is accepted, you will be notified before April 30, 2020. Presenters must become SCMLA members by the time of the conference. More info may be found on the conference website:
