ISU Faculty Support for Western Literature Association event at Fort Hall

The Western Literature Association (WLA) is coming to eastern Idaho October 11-14, 2023. The ISU Office for Research is offering to pay the registration and banquet fees for any ISU faculty member whose proposal is accepted for presentation. The WLA is waiving its usual requirement of membership dues for ISU faculty this year. The banquet is optional, but is a great opportunity for networking with other scholars and, this year, with the Shoshone-Bannock community. 

The WLA invites contributions on any aspect of the literature and culture of the North American West. This includes interrelated issues such as climate, water, landscape, health, energy, etc. 

Please submit a presentation abstract by June 1, 2023. If your proposal is accepted, please indicate when you register that you are an ISU faculty member.
