Deadline 15 December 2025.
ACCUTE is excited to continue the initiative that we launched in 2025 of including workshops on the annual ACCUTE conference program. The workshop format was well received by all members. Workshops enrich and diversify the way knowledge is shared at our annual conference.
Workshops are intensive introductions to specific methods, techniques, practices, processes, protocols, software tools, as well as creative, critical, or theoretical approaches to the study of literature and the wider contexts to which the skills of literary study may be relevant.
Some areas we imagine will be of interest to our members include (but are by no means limited to) workshops concerning:
- Teaching, pedagogy, and course design
- Professionalization within and beyond the academic profession
- Writing in scholarly forms and formats
- Creative practices
- Research methods and tools
- Data management
- Research proposal and grant writing
- Scholarly publication
- Research project design
Workshops will be held within a regular 1.5 hr slot of the conference program.
Proposals for workshops should include the following (in a document of maximum 500 words):
- A workshop title
- A workshop description, explaining the overarching area and rationale of the workshop, the activities that will be pursued, and the skills participants will learn
- Maximum of participants who may register for the workshop
- Names, emails, affiliations, bios (50 words) of all workshop leaders, including a clear statement of the credentials of the organizers in leading the proposed workshop
- A short abstract summarizing the workshop (100 words)
- Three keywords relevant to the subject of the workshop
- Indication of any special room set-up requirements, materials, AV requests, accessibility needs, or any other information the workshop organizers/leaders feel they will need in order to run the proposed workshop.
