Meeting Description:	3rd Annual Alabama Modern Language Conference The University of Alabama March 1-2, 2013 Redefining Borders: Bridging the Gap between Languages, Literatures, and Cultures Keynote speakers: Prof. Hafid Gafaiti (Texas Tech University) and Prof. Thomas Deveny (McDaniel College) A border is commonly recognized as a fixed limit between physical spaces. Borders may refer to the shifting boundaries between nations, yet issues of inclusion and exclusion, the impact of migrations and displacements, and questions of linguistic, cultural, and national identity all emphasize the complex nature of these real or imagined frontiers. In Alabama, the recent passage of strict anti-immigration laws and a growing sentiment against migrants have turned our attention towards the theme of borders and how these physical or mental gaps may be explored. With these thoughts in mind, graduate students in the Department of Modern Languages and Classics are pleased to announce our third annual conference titled ‘Redefining Borders: Bridging the Gap between Languages, Literatures, and Cultures’ to be held March 1-2 on the University of Alabama campus.
