Possible topics include (but are not limited to) :

  • May 68, then and now
  • Arab Spring
  • Literature and Politics
  • La Francophonie, then and now
  • Queer revolutions, queer future
  • Young adult literature and social transformations
  • War, trauma
  • Visual representations

Abstract of 250 words should be sent to loic.bourdeau@louisiana.edu by Dec. 15, 2017. This conference aims to include 50 % Graduate students and 50 % faculty/scholars. The event will also  include an academic keynote (speaker, TBD).
