Call for Paper Proposals

The Harvard Celtic Department cordially invites proposals for papers or works-in-progress on topics which
relate directly to Celtic studies (Celtic languages and literatures in any phase; cultural, historical or social science
topics; theoretical perspectives, etc.). Papers concerning interdisciplinary research with a Celtic focus are also invited.
Attendance is free.

Presentations should be no longer than twenty minutes (i.e., corresponding to no more than approximately
8 double-spaced pages of 12-point type). There will be a short discussion period after each paper. Papers
given at the Colloquium may later be submitted for consideration by the editorial committee for publication
in the Proceedings of the Harvard Celtic Colloquium.

Potential presenters should send a 200-250 word abstract suitable for reproduction, plus a brief biographical
sketch (one-half page max., not a full CV). We encourage online responses, but submissions may also
be sent by Email to hcc@fas.harvard.edu, faxed, or posted to the departmental address. If submitting
proposals by Email, please provide all the required information requested on the Reply Form,
including the abstract and biographical information, in the body of the message.

Closing Date for proposals: May 3, 2008.
