REMINDERS:

For the seminar format to work, it is important that all participants attend all sessions of their own seminar.

In the absence of separate instructions from their seminar Chair, participants are asked to keep their presentations to a maximum of 20 minutes in order to allow ample time for discussion. Participants are also asked to consider presenting rather than reading their paper.

Membership in the ACLA is mandatory for presenters who live and work in the US, with the exception of those presenters who work in fields totally unrelated to the study of language and/or literature.

For information on membership in the ACLA, check the ACLA web-site at http://www.acla.org or e-mail your question to info@acla.org. Do NOT send membership checks to the conference organizers. It will be possible to join during registration at the conference.
