[Sfts-students] [Englishgrad] Reminder - Eaton Conference CFP

[Loren Barbour]

Hi everyone,

I hope we’re all doing well and getting some rest as we head into this
hectic time of the quarter. I’m reaching out on behalf of the Eaton
Conference’s planning committee to give a gentle reminder that the deadline
for our CFP (copied and attached below) is approaching. If you have any
interest working with archives (especially the Eaton) and speculative
fiction, or just want to gain some conference experience, we encourage you
to submit a proposal!


Eaton Conference CFP:
We warmly invite established and emerging scholars to participate in the
Eaton Conference on Speculative Fiction, which will be held in-person at
the University of California, Riverside from April 4-5, 2025. All scholars,
especially graduate and undergraduate students, are encouraged to submit
abstracts for a two-day conference on speculative fiction and the archive.
This event will be free and open to the public.

The Eaton Conference was first established in 1979 to complement the Eaton
Collection, the largest publicly accessible speculative fiction (SF)
archive in the world, and has been a cornerstone of research in and around
SF. Over the course of its nearly 50-year history, the conference has
supported both emerging and established scholars from around the globe.
Alongside an exciting symposium this past spring and an upcoming online
event in January 2025 (hosted by our Jay Kay and Doris Klein Science
Fiction Librarian), we are pleased to welcome you to UC Riverside to launch
a larger event for SF scholars and creatives to present their work, foster
connections, and imagine potential projects involving the Eaton Collection.


Participants are invited to propose panels or individual presentations of
scholarly and/or creative work that addresses speculative fiction in
relation to the archive. We especially encourage submissions which engage
with the J. Lloyd Eaton Collection
<https://library.ucr.edu/collections/eaton-collection-of-science-fiction-fantasy>,
but any exploration of the intersections between SF and the archive are
welcome. Presenters will be organized into undergraduate and graduate
panels for 10-15 minute presentations, followed by Q&A. This conference is
meant to support emerging scholars and ideas, so we encourage those not
experienced with conferences to apply. To help offset the costs of travel
and lodging, all accepted panelists will be offered a small honorarium.


The deadline for submissions is November 30, 2024. Anyone who would like to
apply but is concerned about meeting this deadline is welcome to reach out
to us directly. Details regarding submission requirements are listed in the
CFP file attached to this message. We look forward to your participation!
