Virginia Humanities Conference Annual Proceedings: Animals in the Humanities

PRINTABLE CFP: VHC_ Proceedings Call 2018

The Virginia Humanities Conference (VHC) is a non-profit organization of universities, colleges, and community colleges in Virginia whose purpose is to promote interest and research in the humanities.  Each year in the Spring, a delegate institution hosts the conference, which is open to presenters from across the country. This year we are pleased to announce the second annual peer-reviewed published conference proceedings.

Presenters at VHC 2018 are eligible to submit essays for consideration in the 2019 proceedings publication. Essays should be of conference length, and they should conform to the most recent formatting standard for the individual discipline. All submissions will be peer-reviewed. Delegates are eligible to submit presented work to the proceedings, to be peer-reviewed by anonymous non-Delegate reviewers. The second issue of the proceedings will be available at the 2019 Conference.

To submit your paper for consideration, email it as a Word attachment to admin@vahumanitiesconference.org. Deadline for submission of papers is August 1, 2018.
