>The conference hopes to be a forum for scholarly 
>work of both breadth and depth in the field of 
>literary journalism, and all research 
>methodologies are welcome, as are research on 
>all aspects of literary journalism and/or 
>literary reportage. For the purpose of scholarly 
>delineation, our definition of literary 
>journalism is "journalism as literature" rather 
>than "journalism about literature." The 
>association especially hopes to receive papers 
>related to the general conference theme, 
>"Literary Journalism: Theoria, Poiesis and 
>Praxis." All submissions must be in English.
>
>The International Association for Literary 
>Journalism Studies is a multi-disciplinary 
>learned society whose essential purpose is the 
>encouragement and improvement of scholarly 
>research and education in Literary Journalism. 
>As an association in a relatively recently 
>defined field of academic study, it is our 
>agreed intent to be both explicitly inclusive 
>and warmly supportive of a variety of scholarly approaches.
