[ARETE] FW: Conference on Baseball in Literature & Culture deadline for proposals

[Wedge, Philip C.]

Subject: Conference on Baseball in Literature & Culture deadline for proposals

Hello, all,

Just a brief reminder that the deadline for presentation proposals for the CBL&C is Friday, April 30, so it's fast approaching.  For those of you who were on the program for the 2020 conference that was canceled, I've heard back from all but two of you, and it looks as if we'll have the majority--if not all--of the original presenters on this year's rescheduled conference.

On the other hand, we'll be adding a panel or two to the existing program, so new proposals are very welcome.  Here's the general shape of the program thus far:

And here's the link to the call for papers, if you wish to participate as a presenter:

Remember that the dates for the rescheduled conference are July 15-16, 2021.  The conference events will kick off with a dinner on the campus of Ottawa University on Thursday night, July 15, for all attendees, and the following day will feature a morning plenary talk, a luncheon keynote talk, and a full slate of morning and afternoon panels.  I'm currently working on reserving a block of tickets to the Royals-Orioles game at Kauffman Stadium the evening of July 16; we hope to offer an outing to the Royals game as an option for all conference attendees.

More later, but I wanted to remind everyone about the looming deadline for proposals.

Best,
Andy
