The International Association for Literary Journalism Studies invites 
submissions of proposals for panels on Literary Journalism for the IALJS 
annual convention on 11 - 13 May 2017. The conference will be held at 
theUniversity of King's College, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada.

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 is 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: From the Center, From the Margins." 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.
