Call for Papers

CAMWS Southern Section

October 28-30, 2010
Richmond, Virginia

Deadline: June 1

Abstracts are invited for the 90th anniversary meeting of the Southern Section of the Classical Association of the Middle West and South, set for October 28-30, 2010, at the Omni Richmond Hotel in Richmond, Virginia, at the invitation of the University of Richmond and in conjunction with the Centennial Meeting of the Classical Association of Virginia.

Papers and panels may be on any aspect of Graeco-Roman antiquity; especially welcome are panels likely to be of broad interest, including those concerned with pedagogy. Teachers and students of the Classics at any level of instruction (K-12, college, or university) may submit abstracts, but papers written by undergraduates will be evaluated separately from the rest and assigned to sessions designated for undergraduate papers.

Individual Papers

Only one proposal for a paper may be submitted per person. Use abbreviated (author-date) citations in the abstract but at the end provide a list of works cited. The abstract and bibliography must both be typed in 12-point Times New Roman font; their combined length must not exceed 800 words. Center the title at the top of the page. The author's name must not appear on the abstract. Electronic submissions are strongly preferred.

Submissions: Submit your abstracts electronically by clicking here. To submit an abstract by mail, send one hard copy of the submission form with one hard copy of the abstract.

Panels

A panel must have a minimum of three, and no more than six, papers. Only one panel proposal may be submitted per organizer. Use abbreviated (author-date) citations in the panel description and abstracts but at the end of each provide a list of works cited. The panel description and abstracts, with accompanying bibliography, must all be typed in 12-point Times New Roman font; the length of each, including bibliography, must not exceed 800 words. Center all titles at the top of the page. The authors' names must not appear on the panel description or abstracts. Electronic submissions are strongly preferred.

Submissions: Submit your abstracts electronically by clicking here. To submit a proposal by mail, send one hard copy of the submission form, one hard copy of the panel description, and one hard copy of each abstract.

The maximum time allotted for an individual paper is 15 minutes. A paper for a panel may exceed 15 minutes, but no panel may last longer than two hours. Requests for audio-visual equipment must be made at the time the abstract is submitted. Because LCD projectors are expensive to rent, please request them only when absolutely necessary. Individuals must provide their own laptop computers and adapter cables.

All presenters and organizers are required to be members of CAMWS at the time they submit their abstracts. Dues may be paid online by credit card ($3.00 processing fee) or by check, which should be mailed with a CAMWS membership form to CAMWS, Dept. of Classics, St. Olaf College, 1520 St. Olaf Ave., Northfield, MN 55057-1098; 507-786-3387; fax 507-786-3732; groton@stolaf.edu.
