Below are the most recent Calls For Proposals sent to the English Department.
Charles F. Fraker Graduate Conference, organized by graduate students in the Department of Romance Languages and Literatures at the University of Michigan, will take place October 17–18, 2025, in a hybrid format, with most programming held in person in Ann Arbor.
This year’s theme is Capitalism & Desire, and we invite proposals from graduate students across disciplines.
A limited number of virtual presentation slots are available, in recognition of ongoing disparities in travel funding. However, we strongly encourage those who are able to attend in person to do so, as virtual participation will be competitive due to technical constraints.
Proposals are due by June 30, 2025.
The Call for Papers is attached and also available at:
