Moreover, presentations might include any Romance language(s) of your choice, as long as linguistics is a concern within the chosen language (e.g. French phonology, Italian syntax, Spanish morphology).  



In literature and culture we are open to a range of paper topics dealing with Hispanic & Lusophone literatures and cultures, French literature and Francophone Studies, Italian Studies and any Romance language(s). We encourage proposals to explore topics in the context of Peninsular, Latin American, Mediterranean, Caribbean, African, or Trans-Atlantic regions.
