Media interest group is soliciting proposals for presentation at the
annual fall conference scheduled for the weekend of October 25-26, 2013
on the campus of St. Michael's College in Colchester, Vermont. We

restrictions of presentations are that the proposal be rooted in
research (though we do not automatically exclude original poetry,
composed works of fiction or performances-but such works must be
connected to greater theoretical and research frameworks), that the
proposal not be overtly commercial and that the proposed presentation
appeal to a broad audience. We encourage undergraduate students,
graduate students, faculty and independent scholars to submit proposals
for presentation.
