[LM_NET] Gen: call for programs and papers

[Beth Yoke <byoke@ALA.ORG>]

Submit a program, preconference or paper proposal for YALSA's next YA
Literature Symposium:

 

"Beyond Good Intentions: Diversity, Literature, and Teens" is the theme
for YALSA's 2010 Young Adult Literature Symposium, sponsored in part by
the William C. Morris Endowment. The symposium takes place in
Albuquerque, N.M., Nov. 5-7, 2010. 

 

"Beyond Good Intentions" recognizes that today's generation of teens is
the most diverse ever and invites attendees to explore the depth and
breadth of contemporary literature to see to what degree it reflects the
many different faces, beliefs and identities of today's teens. The
symposium will also examine the impact this diverse generation will have
on teen literature. 

 

YALSA invites interested parties to propose a half or full-day
preconference centering on the theme, as well as 90-minute programs and
paper presentations offering new, unpublished research relating to the
theme. Applications for all proposals can be found at
www.ala.org/yalitsymposium. Proposals for programs and paper
presentations must be sent electronically to yalsa@ala.org by Oct. 1,
2009. Applicants will be notified of their proposal's status in January,
2010.
