Nomenclature: 3rd Annual GEO Conference of the University of Maryland College Park, 5-6 March 2010.
October 7, 2009
Hello! Welcome to the official home of the annual graduate conference run by the Graduate English Organization at the University of Maryland College Park. Here you’ll find any and all pertinent information as pertaining to the conference as it comes up, as well as the official call for papers (found following this post, in its own page, and as a downloadable Word file in the box to the right), miscellany, and perhaps a random thought or two.
I won’t take up too much of your time right now. However, I would like to note the existence of this site not simply for a concentrated method of information distribution, but also to promote a certain level of academic and intellectual community. All these wonderful little tools of technology shatter previous boundaries—limiting, exclusionary boundaries. So now a conference isn’t simply a two-day affair but an entity in and of itself, which builds and expands over time, existing as beyond simply the physical. Enter this website. We here on the conference board encourage interaction through the use of comments on particular posts, or by sending us via email anything you feel is relevant to our theme which we will then, assuming agreement, post here. Some further information about this can be found in the Welcome message to the right. We encourage this level of involvement even from those not participating in the conference, certainly. We all share minds.
Check back regularly, pass along and, above all, enjoy in peace.
-Daniel
