Meeting of the Themes
Each spring, the egso organizes a conference for graduate students locally, nationally, and internationally to present their research and writing. In spring 2012, the egso will host its 10th Annual Graduate Student Conference and for our decennary conference (as in previous years) we need the help of our MA + PhD students to determine the theme. Any ideas, well-formed or ungainly, are welcome. Whether you have a theme to share or not, please come participate in the discussion. Hope to see you there!
