Call for Papers
Society for the Study of American Women Writers
First International Conference
Dates: February 14-18, 2001
Location: St. Anthony Hotel, San Antonio, Texas
Conference Director: Susan Belasco, University of Nebraska
Deadline for Proposals: August 15, 2000
The program committee welcomes submissions of panels organized by individuals
and sessions sponsored by author societies affiliated with the Society for the
Study of American Women Writers. We are especially interested in panels and
sessions that provide substantial time for discussion and exchange. We also
encourage individuals with ideas for single presentations or papers to contact
the conference director. Although traditional conference papers of no more than
fifteen minutes in length are welcome, we are especially interested in proposals
adaptable to a variety of formats. Formats may include exhibits, roundtables,
performances, workshops, readings, group presentations, and discussion sessions
of papers distributed online prior to the conference. Topics may include (but
are not limited to) examinations of the individual works of women writers;
theoretical considerations of race, disability, genre studies, ethnicity,
gender, and class; pedagogical issues and implications; lesbian studies;
international
dimensions of American women writers, women writers and the reconstruction of
American literature, the place of feminist scholarship in contemporary society
and in the academy; and women writers and the development of periodical
literature in American culture.
The SSAWW is committed to a conference program that reflects the diversity of
its membership.
Inquiries and proposals should be sent to Susan Belasco, Conference Director,
SSAWW, by e-mail to sbelasco@unl.edu
Proposal should include the name, e-mail address, and institutional affiliation
of a contact person or session chair; names, e-mail addresses, and institutional
affiliations of all persons involved in the panel or session; the title or topic
and a brief description of the panel or session; the proposed format; and
equipment requests. Program participants must be current members of the SSAWW.
The Officers and Advisory Board of the SSAWW invite all interested persons to
