When you are submitting a convention proposal, you must select one of the categories below. The categories are used for scheduling purposes only.  Your selection of a particular category has no bearing on whether or not a proposal is accepted. 

Below is a list of categories for 2023. Please select a category that best fits your proposal. For example, if your panel has two papers on 20th c. literature and one paper on 21st c. literature, you might wish to select "Literature: 20th Century" rather than "Literature: 21st Century."
