This year's conference theme encourages papers, presentations, and original creative works that explore topics concerned with the intersecting identities of ethnic populations in the United States. Submit proposals that speak to the representation and/or involvement of these communities in literature, media, art games, technology, politics, etc.

​

MCLLM welcomes proposals from a wide range of disciplines and expression forms. The list below provides a sense of the topics the organizers are interested in seeing, but it is not an all-inclusive list. Please submit a proposal that represents your interpretation of our theme! 

​

• Mergence and Emergence

• Transcultural Vs. Cross-Cultural

• Legacy and Heritage

• Language Omission

• Reclamation and Resilience

• Diverse Representation in Academia

• Diversifying Curriculum

• Racial Politics

​

It will be assumed that creative works represent a culmination of research in a given area, presenters may wish to include critical context for their work and take part in the associated Q & A sessions.

Outstanding papers and presentations will receive a special recognition!
