Modern Greek Studies Association SYMPOSIUM 2009 – CALL FOR PAPERS

MGSA 2009, the twenty-first biennial international symposium of the Modern Greek Studies Association, will take place October 15-17, 2009 in Vancouver, Canada, and will be coordinated by the Hellenic Studies Program at Simon Fraser University (www.sfu.ca/ hellenic- studies/) .

Abstracts for individual papers and proposals for entire panels are invited on any aspect of contemporary Greek culture, literature, language, history, society, politics, economics, and the arts. Comparative and interdisciplinary approaches to the study of Greece and research on the regional, transnational, and transcultural
dimensions of Greek modernity are especially encouraged.

General Guidelines for Submission:

All submissions will be judged by blind review on the basis of their individual merit, even when part of a submitted panel. Abstracts of 300-400 words should be submitted electronically to the MGSA Executive Director.

Jointly authored abstracts and papers are welcome.

Each abstract should be accompanied by a separate page that contains the name(s) of the author(s), affiliation( s), postal and email addresses, and telephone numbers. All papers will have a 20-minute time limit.

Symposium participants are expected to cover their own expenses. There is a small fund available to defray accommodation costs only (not travel) for participating graduate students.

Abstracts or inquiries may be submitted via email to Prof. Victor Papacosma, MGSA Executive Director: mgsa@kent.edu

Deadlines:

The original deadline for submissions of abstracts for individual papers was 15 January 2009 but is subject to extension. Deadline for abstracts of organized panels is 25 January 2009 (also subject to extension). Final decisions will be announced by early March 2009.
