ASLE-Sponsored Panel at the 2025 Western Literature Association Conference
Oklahoma City, OK, Sept. 21-24

Open Topic: The Association for the Study of Literature and Environment invites innovative paper proposals on any topic that integrates western North American literary/cultural studies with environmental themes or concerns. We particularly welcome proposals from graduate students and contingent faculty.

WLA 2025 is a call to action to critically examine and celebrate the multicultural foundations of western literature. We look forward to your contributions in shaping this important dialogue. The conference theme is Words of Fire: Honoring the Multicultural Western Narrative. This theme seeks to explore the transformative power of words across diverse cultural narratives. We aim to (re)center multiculturalism in the western narrative, examining how diverse histories have shaped and continue to influence our understanding of western literature.

This panel is sponsored by ASLE, so its placement at the 2025 WLA Conference is guaranteed. Please submit a 250-word proposal to Jada Ach (jada.ach@asu.edu). Submission deadline: Wednesday, April 23, 2025.
