Western Region Conference Call for Proposals 2025
The deadline for proposals is June 15th.
Throughout history, cultural crossroads have served as pivotal gathering places—where ideas are exchanged, traditions evolve, and communities are transformed. This year’s regional conference theme, Crossroads of Culture, reflects on the historical intersections that have shaped our identities, institutions, and landscapes. Set in Eugene, Oregon—a place with deep Indigenous roots and a legacy of migration, innovation, and activism—we will examine how the past informs the present, and how our understanding of cultural convergence can guide us toward a more inclusive and thoughtful future.
Sessions may take the form of paper presentations, hands-on workshops, guided discussions, or other interactive formats. Our goal is to provide a welcoming space to share ideas and experiences within the region, and we hope you’ll join us. Standard session blocks will be 45 minutes. If you wish to host a 90-minute session, that option is available as two consecutive blocks, with a 15-minute break in between.
