Dear Graduate Students, We are thrilled to share the Call for Papers (CFP) for our 8th annual QC English Graduate Conference, on the theme of "Catastrophe and Community" (please see the attached PDF or this Google Doc <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1gxzuBEBGaAa_FnUR0Up6ZOnWCmHVj7xzRhvoqUYZlWM/edit?usp=sharing>). Many thanks to the 2022 Grad Conference Committee for pulling it together so quickly and beautifully! Please consider submitting a proposal by the *March 28* deadline via Google Form <https://forms.gle/56kLLbL8DYUeFuft6>! Building off the success of last year's virtual conference, the CFP invites a wide range of presentations related to this year's theme, in a variety of formats, both in-person and virtual. This is a wonderful opportunity for you to share your work, get support and feedback from our collegial departmental community, and participate in a vital aspect of academic life. Our hope is for a hybrid conference the first week of May, and we plan to announce details in early April, so please stay tuned! And in the meantime, please don't hesitate to email us if you have any questions. Best, Caroline & Hillary, your Directors of Graduate Studies in English (on behalf of the 2022 Grad Conference Committee) -- Dr. Caroline Kyungah Hong Associate Professor of English Director of Graduate Studies (English MA) Queens College, CUNY *she/her/hers* * Please note that I am off email on weekends and will respond to your email during business hours, Monday–Friday 9am–5pm, generally within 1–2 business days.
