Call for Papers Emerging Scholars Symposium Mid-America Theatre Conference St. Louis, March 7-10, 2013
The 34th Annual Mid-America Theatre Conference will host two debut Emerging Scholars Panels designed for both undergraduate and graduate students who have not yet presented at a conference.
Paper submissions for each panel are welcome on any topic in theatre history, theory, or dramatic literature. Papers that compliment the conference theme of “MYTH” are encouraged, but not required.

Undergraduate winners will also be paired with a conference mentor.
Papers should be 7-10 pages in length (1750-2500 words), and will be evaluated on their originality, the quality of their writing and research, and their critical/theoretical sophistication.
