ACK! Deadline: Nov 15 for most abstracts for SW PCA (Albuq) Feb - includes Dr Who, Torchwood, more
I am so not getting all my email. *grumble*
The deadline for abstracts for papers on most areas is Nov. 15; early (cheaper) registration for the conference is also Nov. 15. This Albuquerque gathering is F-U-N fun (especially when you come there from cold gray winter elsewhere), there are terrific inexpensive hotels within a few blocks, *and* a ton of presenters on fandom... HP, Discworld, Buffy, anime, you name it.
The Area Chairs of the Science Fiction and Fantasy Area would like to invite paper and panel proposals on any aspect of science fiction and fantasy.
Please send queries, 250 word paper proposals, or 500 word panel proposals to
Ximena Gallardo
xgallardo_at_lagcc.cuny.edu
Include with the submission full contact information for each presenter including email, phone, snail mail, and institutional affiliation.
Deadline for proposal submissions: November 15, 2008. The registration deadline is December 31, 2008. All participants must register by that date or they will not be permitted to present or appear in the program.
The 2008 Southwest/Texas Popular Culture/American Culture Association 29th Annual Conference, The Hyatt Regency Conference Hotel, Albuquerque, NM, February 13-16, 2008.

To search for many other areas, go to:

and search on:
"SW/TX PCA 2009"
Another - different - chunk of CFPs can be found using the same search on the H-Net (Humanities network) website:
http://www.h-net.org/announce/group.c
And CFPs are also strung out in a nearly unreadable and absolutely un-printer-friendly way on the Southwest Journal of Cultures online blog of cultural studies book reviews: http://southwestjournalofcultures.blogs
Nice readable webpage, but dayyam I hate blogs for searching, printing, or any other thing!
Here's where to find the CFPs on Torchwood and Dr Who panels.
