CALL FOR PAPERS
The VICTORIAN INTERDISCIPLINARY STUDIES ASSOCIATION OF THE WESTERN
UNITED STATES (VISAWUS) announces its fourth annual conference, to be
held October 9-10 (Saturday and Sunday) on the campus of Clark College
in Vancouver, Washington USA.
The focus of the 1999 conference will be "Victorianisms," although
papers on any interdisciplinary topic concentrating on the Victorian
period (England, the colonies, and elsewhere) will be considered. We
invite proposals for 20 minute papers or full panels (in the spirit of
the Victorian novel, we consider a full panel to be three papers).
Paper proposals, a maximum of two double-spaced pages, should be sent by
June 8, 1999, to the chair of the program committee: Harly Ramsey,
Department of English, University of Southern California, University
Park, Los Angeles, CA 90089, or by email to hramsey@usc.edu.
For people needing to make long-term plans, the following local
arrangements have been completed:
*rooms: at the Shilo Inn Vancouver (about five blocks from campus) @
$55/night single or double.
*airport transportation: Shilo Inn provides van service from the
Portland (Oregon) International Airport, about 20 minutes from the Inn.
*meals: Two breakfasts and two lunches included in registration fee
*Hotel-campus transportation: van service from the Shilo to Clark and
back included in registration fee
*registration fee: $50 ($35 for students)
Last year's conference included free van service Saturday night to
Powell's in downtown Portland for book browsers. We will try to
duplicate that service this year.
Reservations and registration: For room reservations, call the
Shilo directly at (360) 696-0411. Tell them you are attending the
