Submissions are due no later than Friday, December 18, 2020. Presenters will be notified of their acceptance by Monday, January 4, 2021. Full papers will be posted on a password protected page of the BUCLA website for conference participants, and presenters will be asked to present a short (5 minute) presentation over a summary or section of the paper during the online panels. This conference is for undergraduate scholars and recent graduates only, and as such no submissions by graduate students will be accepted. The conference will be entirely online.
