Call for Papers

From March 17th - 19th 2025, the next RCL will be presented by Prof. Peter Carruthers (University of Maryland), as always in the context of a Graduate workshop including presentations by PhD students and Postdocs. Presentations should address topics related to the main topic of the lecture series.

We invite PhD students and Postdocs up to five years after PhD completion (2020 or later) to submit abstracts (max. 700 words), making thesis and argument transparent. Papers will be selected based on a blind review process. Presenters will receive a financial support in form of a lump sum of 100 Euro (for travel within Germany), 200 Euro (travel in the rest of Europe), and 400 Euro (travel worldwide).

Submission deadline is Dec 15th, 2024. Please send your submissions to Dr. des. Maja Griem: [email protected]. Send two PDF files: one file with your anonymized paper and another one with author information (Name, Institution, Contact Details).
