The Young Adult Library Services Association (YALSA), a division of the American Library Association (ALA),is seeking program proposals and paper presentations for its 2014 Young Adult Literature Symposium, Keeping it Real: Finding the True Teen Experience in YA Literature, to be held October 31 - November 2, 2014 in Austin, TX.
YALSA's 2014 Young Adult Literature Symposium will gather together librarians, educators, researchers, authors and publishers to explore what's 'real' in the world of teen literature. In what ways is young adult literature reflecting the real and amazing diversity of today's 42 million teens and it what ways has it fallen short? Who are today's teens, really? What are the 'real' issues that they want and need to read about, and how do they want to read about them? Why are realistic teen experiences in books sometimes controversial when they accurately portray a young person's life? How are the evolving areas of identity and sex(uality) being explored in YA literature and nonfiction? Join YALSA as we explore what is 'real' in young adult literature.
YALSA invites interested parties to propose 90-minute programs centering on the theme, as well as paper presentations offering new, unpublished research relating to the theme. Applications for all proposals can be found at http://ala.org/yalitsymposium (click "Propose a Paper/Program"). Proposals for programs and paper presentations must be completed online by Nov. 1, 2013. Applicants will be notified of their proposals' status the week of Jan. 12, 2014.
