<Title>CFP: Predicate at Georgetown University</Title>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">Georgetown University’s
    English Graduate Student Association would like to invite graduate students
    to consider submitting to our annual interdisciplinary humanities journal,
    Predicate. The theme of this year’s journal is “Reactions.”<br><br>The deadline for papers of no more than 6,000 words is February 14,
    2014. If there are any additional questions, feel free to contact
    Maria Vrcek (<a href="mailto:mev37@georgetown.edu" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">mev37@georgetown.edu</a>).<br><br><p>Deadline for Papers:
    February 14, 2014 
    
    </p><p><em>predicate</em><br></p><p>(n.) - the part of a sentence or
    clause containing what is said about a subject</p><p>(v.) - to make an assertion; to
    postulate, suppose, assume</p><p>Produced by the Georgetown University English Graduate
    Student Association, Predicate aims to establish a forum for graduate students to
    share their research and writing: a place to work with other developing
    scholars.   <br></p><p>For this year’s issue, we invite submissions that
    investigate the act of reacting. What forms can a reaction take? How do time or historical context
    shape reactions to literature or events? How can a reaction impact the issue or
    event to which it responds? What motivates a reaction? Is reacting always a
    political act?</p><p>We encourage papers from all humanities disciplines
    including, but not limited to, philosophy, history, art history, theology, literature,
    women’s and gender studies, ethnic studies, and LGBTQ studies. </p>
    
    
    
    <p><strong>Submissions should be
    sent as Word document email attachments to Maria Vrcek
    (<a href="mailto:mev37@georgetown.edu">mev37@georgetown.edu</a>) no later than 11:59 p.m. on February 14, 2014. All
    submissions should utilize Chicago style citation. Please do not include your
    name in the text of the paper. In the body of your email, include your name,
    your program affiliation, the title of your paper, and the subject of your
    paper. Papers should not exceed 6,000 words. Authors will be notified of
    acceptance and, if appropriate, suggestions for revision
    by the middle of March.</strong></p>
