The Tennessee Philological Association (TPA) is now accepting submissions for the 2026 Conference to be held at Freed-Hardeman University February 26-28, 2026.
TPA welcomes submissions on any subject in literature, creative writing, English pedagogy, and diverse media. Abstracts for papers dealing with any aspect of literature, creative writing, language, and linguistics (including foreign languages) should be no more than 250 words. Papers must be kept to a twenty-minute reading time not to exceed ten pages. Papers should be read in English. Panel proposals (three to five members) should be no more than two pages. Panels are for one-hour sessions, should be on theme, and should not merely consist of multiple papers pre-grouped. Panels which do not follow these guidelines will be broken up. Graduate and Undergraduate submissions should email their completed papers to Official.TPA.Secretary@outlook.com at the time of their submission. All participants whether reading a paper, taking part in a panel discussion, or attending as a guest must complete a registration. Those who do no will not be allowed to participate.
Themed Call: Science Fiction and Fantasy
*Papers addressing this year's theme are eligible for consideration for publicatior in the TPA Bulletin.*
The Tennessee Philological Association invites proposals for papers, panels, workshops, and roundtables for our upcoming annual conference. This year's theme: "Science Fiction & Fantasy." We welcome submissions that investigate how science fiction and fantasy texts--across eras, cultures, and media-shape--challenge, and expand our understanding of language, narrative, and the human experience. We hope to see your insights on "the fiction of ideas" (Bradbury) and the "heightening of reality" (Le Guin) and to help us to explore the worlds we can never visit and the ones we never want to leave. From Tolkien to Dinniman, from Butler to Garber, take us on an adventure we will not soon forget.
Deadline for Consideration: January 23, 2026
