**DEADLINE EXTENDED**

Call for Papers for a scheduled session at MLA 1999

COMMITTEE ON THE STATUS OF WOMEN IN THE PROFESSION

"Disappearing Acts: Who Took Women out of the Affirmative Action Debate?

This panel seeks to examine the connections between affirmative action and
the structure of women's work. Given that the primary benefactors of
affirmative action have been women, why aren't women more visible in that
debate? We invite submissions on the absence of gender (and the
overdetermination of race) in the current affirmative action rhetoric and
activism.

Please email or fax 2-page abstracts and brief vitae by March 20 to Kim
Blockett.
