Papers will be presented at thematically organised parallel sessions and at workshops on specific topics. Each presenter will be allocated 30 minutes, including time for questions and discussion. (We recommed that papers/presentations last 20 minutes, freeing the rest of the time for discussion.) The following themes have already been proposed as panel topics: "American Studies and its 'Outsides' ", "The Body in the Text: Literary and Linguistic Approaches to Embodied Language", "The Captivity Narrative in British and American Literatures, Beginnings to the Present", "Contemporary Poetry in English", "Emigrant Letters in Historical Dialectology/Sociolinguistics", "English in Europe", "History of the English Language", "Post-Colonial Studies".<br />There is room for many more panels and workshops, and the conference will be organised around the actual papers submitted. For those who prefer to give a visual rather than an oral presentation, there is the option of preparing a display in poster form. Posters will be displayed throughout the conference, and a specific time will be allocated for conference participants to speak to poster presenters.<br />There will also be plenary lectures with invited speakers on issues of general interest within English studies. <br />Proposals - including information about your academic position and institution, as well as a title and an abstract of 75-100 words in length – should be sent to Charles I. Armstrong, email address <Charles.Armstrong@eng.uib.no>. Postal address: English Department, University of Bergen, Sydnesplassen 7, 9037 Bergen. The deadline is 1 December 2006.<br />All details of the conference will be posted as they become available on the conference website at <a href="http://www.kongress.no/95" target="_blank"><strong><font color="#000099">http://www.kongress.no/95</font></strong></a>.
