The Research Society for American Periodicals invites submissions on “Visual Culture
and Ethnic American Periodicals” for the American Literature Association conference, May

Papers that focus on the history or production of periodical art or illustrated periodicals are especially welcome. Possible topics may include, but are not limited to, the relationship between text and image; collaborations between editors or writers and visual artists; staff and contributing artists; comic strips, cartoon series, or cover art; periodical layout and visual design; and art criticism in ethnic American periodicals.

Papers may focus on any US historical period. Please submit a 300-word abstract and a 1- to 2-page c.v. by December 27, 2014 to Andreá Williams (Ohio State University) at andrea.williams.osu@gmail.com. Please use the subject line “RSAP/ALA proposal.”
