Panels are now forming for presentations regarding all aspects (historical, literary, cultural, etc.) of Captivity Narratives. All topics and approaches to the genre are welcomed. Graduate students/future teachers are particularly welcome to participate (with monetary awards for the best graduate student papers) – or to simply register to attend the conference and its captivity narrative panels.

All that is required at this time is a proposal.

If your work does not focus on captivity narratives in particular but fits within the broad range of areas designated for the upcoming conference on American & popular culture, I still encourage you to participate. Please see the conference’s full list of subject areas (each with its own CFP) at http://southwestpca.org/conference/call-for-papers/

Submit your abstract by 15 November 2016 at http://conference2015.southwestpca.org/

You will need to create a user account in order to submit your proposal.

Please pass along this call to friends and colleagues, and feel free to contact the area chair with any questions.
