2018 PEAKS ConferencePlease join us on Friday February 9, 2018 for the 18th annual PEAKS Interdisciplinary conference on Northern Arizona University's beautiful Flagstaff campus.
Registration begins at 8:00AM
A full schedule of panel times and locations will be available the day of the conference. Presenters be checking your email for an advanced copy of the schedule! Dangerous Knowledge
Is knowledge dangerous? Under what circumstances does knowledge aid or hinder the individual? The community? What is the relationship between knowledge and progress; stagnation; desire? What does knowledge perpetuate? To honor the elements of language, communication, “otherness,” science and science-fiction, nature, psychology, history, and much more, and to discuss the implications of knowledge, the 2018 PEAKS Interdisciplinary Conference would like to celebrate the bicentennial anniversary of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. In that spirit, PEAKS encourages submissions on the novel, the novel’s histories and themes, adaptations (film, print, other media), and Frankenstein and his creature as cultural icons. Topics not related to this year’s theme are also welcome!
As an interdisciplinary conference, PEAKS encourages 15-20 minute papers from a wide range of scholarly and creative disciplines such as literature, linguistics, rhetoric, education, creative writing, history, art history, musicology, women and gender studies, film studies, psychology, and communications. Topics may include, but are not limited to:
Please submit proposals of no more than 250 words along with a brief, 50 words or less, description of the paper to be used on the conference website. Use the “Submit” link located at the top of this website by the deadline: January 14, 2018. For more details about length requirements, please see our "Call for Papers." |
