"Dynamics in the Women's Literature Class"
Sender: owner-cfp@dept.english.upenn.edu
Precedence: bulk
Society for the Study of American Women Writers
First International Conference
San Antonio, Texas
February 14-18, 2001
Papers are solicited for a proposed panel on the dynamics in a women's
literature class for the inaugural meeting of the SSAWW, a new society
affiliated with the journal Legacy. We are seeking papers which address the
problems and issues facing instructors of women's literature courses in
coeducational classrooms. Since part of the course intent is to challenge
common assumptions and traditional belief systems of society as a whole and
our students in particular, the subject matter is sometimes met with
resistance and misunderstanding. We are particularly interested in papers
which explore nontraditional pedagogical approaches to the women's
literature classroom and offer suggestions for creating a healthy and open
learning environment.
Please submit via e-mail (within the text or as Word file attachment)
250-word abstracts and contact information (e-mail address, regular address,
phone number, and institutional affiliation) by July 15, 2000, to BOTH
