NYCEA holds an annual conference alternating, when possible, between upstate and downstate locations (usually in the New York City area). Previous conference themes have included "Literature and Film," "Reconciliation," "Close Reading," "Literature and Evolution," and "Ethnicity and Literature.' Keynote speakers and presenters have included well-known creative writers and scholars. Our conferences are intimate and welcoming, and give presenters an opportunity to share insights about literature, teaching, and writing. You don't have to be a New Yorker to join! Though most of our members are from the northeastern United States and Canada, we welcome members from all over the world.
We encourage graduate students to present papers at NYCEA conferences. A $200 cash prize is awarded for the best paper delivered by a graduate student at each conference.
