Call for Papers

International Association for Literary Journalism Studies

*“Literary Journalism: Telling the Untold Stories”*

*The Eleventh International Conference for Literary Journalism Studies
(IALJS-11)*

*Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul*

*Faculdade de Comunicação Social*

*Porto Alegre - Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil*

*19-21 May 2016*


        The International Association for Literary Journalism Studies
        invites submissions of original research papers, abstracts for
        research in progress and proposals for panels on Literary
        Journalism for the IALJS annual convention on 19-21 May 2016.
        The conference will be held at the Pontifícia Universidade
        Católica do Rio Grande do Sul in Porto Alegre, Brazil.


        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: Telling the Untold Stories." 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.
