1. PROJECT/EVENT INFORMATION
Amount requested: 
$700
Purpose for funds: 
This annual English Student Association event is organized by students elected by the ESA. Student participants from The Graduate Center will present their scholarship and display their multimedia artwork in forums with students from other universities. Peer interaction will be supplemented by internationally known keynote speakers and a roundtable discussion of the art exhibit. This is an entirely student-run event. Two student co-chairs organizing this exhibit are supplemented by a committee to select paper proposals, a committee to select art proposals, an art exhibit curating team, panel moderators, and volunteers to handle day-of-conference logistics (registration, for instance). A sizable percentage of the paper and art presentations proposals have been submitted by Graduate Center students (submissions are open until January 1). Graduate Center students who present their work will benefit by the experience of the scholarly forum, through interaction on panels with scholars and artists from other schools who are doing similar work, and through the opportunity to hear comments on the latest in Sedgwick scholarship from the renowned keynote speakers.
