Dear Colleagues,
As we plan for ALA 2013 in Chicago, find below the Topics in European
Studies: Call for Papers. I encourage you to consider offering a paper
yourself and/or sharing this CFP with interested colleagues and
graduate students.
Please feel free to contact me with questions. Libby Chenault

Topics in European Studies: Call for Papers
European cultures bridge all disciplines and areas of the scholarly
spectrum (humanities, social sciences, physical sciences, fine arts,
business, medicine, etc.). As these areas intersect and scholars
discuss their respective findings with one another, interdisciplinary
connections are made. These connections can be made at all levels as
we work together to address questions that are ultimately of interest
to us all.
WESS (the Western European Studies Section of ACRL) is looking for
researchers to participate in just such an interchange, tentatively
scheduled for 4:30-5:50 pm, Saturday, June 29, 2013 at the ALA Annual
Conference in Chicago, IL.
If you have a research agenda or a preliminary article or paper in
European studies that you would like to present for feedback or
discussion, we would be interested in hearing from you. Preference
will be given to papers related to our 2013 program theme: “Literary
Texts and the Library in the Digital Age: New Collaborations for
European and American Studies.”
By design this session will be less formal than a conference or a
symposium. It is intended to benefit presenters seeking feedback on a
tentative plan for research as well as those pursuing a more developed
project. Presenters do not have to be WESS members to share their
ideas. Students, new professionals, and seasoned scholars are all
welcome to apply.
Please submit a 250 word abstract for your paper along with a
preliminary title by May May 1, 2013. Please include the following
information:
Name
Affiliation
E-Mail Address
Preliminary Title
Length of time you will speak (Please note that presenters should plan
on speaking for 10 to 20 minutes -- less time for a paper in its
infancy; more time for a more developed topic.)
Please send the proposal in electronic format to Catherine Minter by
the May 1 deadline.

Thank you! We look forward to hearing your ideas.
