All graduate students who are participating in the general conference are also invited to join the planned GSA events. Sign up for the GSA will be on the meeting registration form and will require payment of a nominal fee ($5 USD).

The program will consist of panel presentations, seminar sessions, and informal discussions designed to provide a forum for networking with faculty who write in the field, and to promote dialogue among graduate students and faculty participants about students' individual research projects.
