About the Conference:

After successful conferences over the last three years, the Southern Plains Arts, Humanities, and Languages Conference returns for another exciting conference on April 18, 2026!

Our conference takes an interdisciplinary approach toward scholarship to open new avenues of inquiry. We believe that knowledge production is a reflective, industrious, and transgressive act that allows us to think the unthought and feel the unfelt. We invite undergraduate, graduate, independent, and university-affiliated scholars to submit papers, panels, and poster presentations.

Disciplines include but are not limited to: Creative Writing, Linguistics, Literature, Rhetoric and Writing Studies, Screen Studies; TESOL/Applied Linguistics; Africana Studies; Cultural Studies; Gender, Women’s, Sexuality Studies; Writing Center Studies, Education, History, Philosophy and Fine Arts.
