CEA 2022: Birmingham: 52nd Annual Conference | March 31–April 2, 2022 Birmingham Sheraton Hotel

Justice

The College English Association invites you to join us at our 52nd national conference in Birmingham, Alabama, where the freedom ensured by civil rights has been contested by the government in both the past and present. Birmingham's notoriety as a focal point of the Civil Rights Movement, including the Birmingham Campaign, the imprisonment of Martin Luther King, Jr., and the writing of his "Letter from Birmingham Jail" is matched by the city's renown for forging steel, founding Veteran's Day, and hosting the USA's second-oldest drag queen pageant. Whether it is past conflicts over racism or current struggles over race, the rights of women, or the LGBTQ community, Birmingham and Alabama are places where the right to justice for groups and individuals has been ignored, debated, defended, and championed.

Alabama, too, is part of a rich tradition of Southern Literature and has been home to Zora Neale Hurston, Harper Lee, John Lewis, Rosa Parks, and Booker T. Washington and is a setting in books from authors as diverse as Truman Capote, Joan Didion, Ralph Ellison, Fannie Flagg, John Green, and Yaa Gyasi.

The 2021 conference will be held at the Birmingham Sheraton Hotel.
