An Invitation from the President
Welcome, all of you, to Hilton Head Island for the 48th Annual Conference of the
College English Association. On this island we are, but not stranded; indeed, all of us, all
of you, have created this program, an archipelago. We have come a long way.
If you are new to CEA, I hope you will come to share the fondness and respect I feel
for this professional organization. I recall years ago as an ABD candidate on the market
for the first time, checking my mailbox in the English Department of Florida State
University, finding that my placement file and follow-up correspondence sent to Texas
Tech for a visiting lectureship had gotten all the way to Houston before being stamped
“insufficient postage” and returned to me undelivered.
This was two days after the deadline had passed. The department chair passed by at
that moment, saw my dilemma, had a secretary make out a new envelope with enough
postage, brought me into his office, and called the department head at Tech to explain
the situation. He then had me call my directing professor, whose roommate from Chapel
Hill was an English professor at Texas Tech. I taught at Texas Tech for the next three
years. My dissertation director was George Mills Harper (1975-76 CEA President), my
department chair Fred Standley (1987-88 CEA President, longtime CEA Historian). That
is who we are.
Also, please take advantage of the breadth and diversity on the program at CEA.
Composition and rhetoric; British, American, world, Native American, African-American
literatures; children’s literature and graphic novels; film studies and disability studies;
creative and technical writing; service learning and academic leadership sessions;
graduate student concerns and many other areas are on the program. You may spend
the day in your special interest or develop new avenues to invigorate your teaching and
scholarship.
And I can’t omit mentioning our open-mike reading Friday night. Think about that poem
or short-short fiction piece you brought to work on, that piece you have wanted to try out
on appreciative listeners—come help us keep Friday night on the books.
Finally, as President, I am tremendously grateful for our indefatigable Program Chair,
Lynne Simpson, for organizing and governing this group of islands we call the 48th
Conference of the College English Association. Please enjoy and enrich yourselves and
others.
Jeffrey DeLotto
CEA President, 2016-2017

Call for Papers, CEA 2018 |
49th Annual Conference | April 5-7, 2018 | St. Petersburg, Florida
"And you O my soul where you stand,
Surrounded, detached, in measureless oceans of space,
Ceaselessly musing, venturing, throwing, seeking the spheres to connect them,
Till the bridge you will need be form'd…."
--Walt Whitman
Submit proposals online at www.cea-web.org, beginning August 15, 2017.
Submission deadline: November 1, 2017
The Sunshine Skyway Bridge crosses Tampa Bay from St. Petersburg, called the Sunshine City in
honor of its Guinness Record for most consecutive days of sunshine (768). St. Petersburg is home
to historic neighborhoods, distinguished museums, contemporary galleries, and a wide variety of
dining, entertainment and shopping venues.
St. Petersburg is also home to the College English Association’s 2018 national conference, where
we invite you to join us at our annual meeting to explore the many bridges that connect places, texts,
communities, words, and ideas.
CEA invites proposals from academics in all areas of literature, language, film, composition,
pedagogy, and creative, professional, and technical writing. We are especially interested in
presentations that build bridges between and among texts, disciplines, people, cultures, media,
languages, and generations.
For your proposal you might consider:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Bridges between disciplines, languages, or generations
Bridges between races, classes, cultures, regions, genders, or sexualities
Cultural or ideological bridges in literary, scholarly, or theoretical works
The bridge as construct, form, metaphor, motif, or icon
Connections between text and images or sound
Bridges between theory and practice, reading and writing, writer and audience
Building bridges between teaching and scholarship; faculty and administrators;
professors and students
• Bridges as physical artifacts and symbols of industry and technology
• Digital humanities as a bridge between worlds
• What bridges connect, support, and pass over
General Program
In addition to our conference theme, we also welcome proposals in any and all of the areas English
and writing departments encompass. We also solicit papers on all areas that influence our lives as
academics as well as those that address the profession broadly.

at the following web address: http://www.cea-web.org.
Electronic submissions open August 15 and close on November 1, 2017. Proposals should be
