The deadline for all individual paper proposals, as well as for proposals for complete panels that are not directly tied to the conference theme, is May 15th. Individual and panel proposals should be submitted directly to the MMLA office via email (mmla@luc.edu). Once accepted, individual papers will be organized into sessions. Panel proposals should be submitted as a unit, including paper titles and abstracts, as well as title, affiliation, and full contact information for all participants, clearly identifying the panel chair.Proposals for Special Sessions that focus on the conference theme in some way are also welcome. These do not require identification of a full slate of papers but instead, if accepted, assume that the session organizer will serve as panel chair (who may also give a paper). Accepted Special Session calls will be posted on the MMLA website and will require that the organizer receive proposals directly and vet them to build the full panel. Special Session proposals are due May 15th via email (mmla@luc.edu).Plazo para envío de propuestas hasta el 15 de mayo de 2014
