Proposals for 20-minute conference presentations are invited for the South Central College English Association’s session “Works We Love to Teach” at the SCMLA 2009 Convention, October 29-31, in Baton Rouge, LA. What are the literary works we most enjoy teaching, and how do we pass on our passion for these works to our students? Which texts pose unique obstacles or offer exceptional rewards for instructors and students in the classroom? Papers discussing pedagogical methods as well as specific challenges and successes in teaching selected works are encouraged.

Please submit a 250-500 word abstract, a brief C.V., and A/V requirements to Shari Hodges Holt at shodges@olemiss.edu by Friday, March 13, 2009. Selected panelists will be announced in April 2009.
