Possible Audiences for Wordsworth/Awe/Pragmatism Project

The European Pragmatism Association. Found it on a google search for something to do with pragmatism and academic conferences and blogs. It was the first hit on a few of my searches and has an online peer-reviewed journal, a blog, multiple conferences/ events, and a very helpful list of affiliates. It looks at pragmatism in all kinds of disciplines.

The Wordsworth Conference Foundation. Two conferences a year, one in the summer and one in the winter, where participants take walks and visit Dove Cottage by candlelight in between sessions. Now accepting proposals for the summer conference. I’ll have to polish up my extensive undergraduate c.v. for this to be an option, but it’s such a beautiful idea.


National Undergraduate Research Conference. It looks like it’s always held at Weber State, but it came up on a few searches—I clicked on it off of this useful list from the Maryland Center for Undergraduate Research. Although I'm probably looking for something a little more specialized, it's nice to see something acclaimed and close to home. 

Pragmatism Today. An online peer-reveiwed journal primarily interested in pragmatist philosophy, but also calls for submissions on "all kind of relevant issues (philosophical, cultural, social, interdisciplinary, etc.) as seen from pragmatist perspectives." Wordsworth and pragmatism could fit.


Romanticism. Another lofty goal, but I’m drawn to the traditional, print nature of the publication and its call for "textual and bibliographical essays prepared to the highest scholarly standards, reflecting the full range of current methodological and theoretical debate." I found it using this helpful list from New York University called Publishing in Romanticism. A Wordsworth paper could theoretically make it in to any journal on the list.

I'm not sure if a person counts as a plausible audience, but I checked out a bunch of profiles of people who associate themselves with the European Pragmatism association, and this scholar seemed to fit my research interests. I could use one of his books as a source, or send him an email.
