Final Paper Guidelines
The objective of this final project is to write/prepare a paper that can be presented at a real conference, whether or not you actually submit it. The limit for MA students is 3000 words max, excluding bibliography (this is also the max. for a 20 min. paper).
I have been browsing through upcoming conferences related to our topics, but you can also suggest another one that you may find interesting (not necessarily with an explicit ecopoetic angle, but where you might fit in some of our seminar contents, and also perhaps combine them with your upcoming dissertation plan). One good place to start would be the Associação de Estudos Anglo-Portugueses, thought their upcoming conference is not yet announced (I hope it will be in a few days, they have other good conference tips though): https://apeaa.pt/
