Hi everyone, and Happy Lunar New Year! The Grad Conference Committee has decided to extend the CFP deadline for our 3rd annual MA conference to *Monday, February 22*. So you have plenty of time to get in those submissions. Please see the attached CFP. Keep in mind that you don't need to have written the paper/presentation yet to submit a proposal, and that whatever you end up presenting can be a work-in-progress. You won't find a more collegial and supportive audience to share your ideas with and get feedback from! If you're currently taking an MA class, you might even see if some of your classmates might be interested in putting together a panel or roundtable related to the class and submitting something as a group. If you have any questions or would like help with your proposal, please don't hesitate to email us or stop by our office hours.
