Please note: the submission deadline has been extended. We are now
accepting proposals through November 12, 2001, for the Literature/Film
sessions of the 7th Annual GES Conference to be held February 22-23,
2002 at Texas Tech University in Lubbock, Texas.
Also, our Keynote Speaker at our Saturday Luncheon will be Dr. Cheryl
Glenn, and we are thrilled she's accepted! She will address the
conference theme: Past and Future Perspectives: Negotiating our
Changing Field.
Cheryl Glenn is an Associate Professor of English and Women's Studies at
the Pennsylvania State University. A founding member and past president
of the Coalition of Women Scholars in Rhetoric and Composition, Glenn
received the Elizabeth P. Richie Distinguished Professor Award while at
Oregon State University. She obtained her Ph.D. from Ohio State
University. Her research interests include rhetorical history and
theory; composition theory and practice; feminist and gender theories;
medieval and renaissance literatures.
I am especially interested in submissions which deal with aspects of the
following suggested topics, but any abstracts dealing with Medieval
literature are welcome and will be considered:
1) Gender issues in medieval literature -- negotiating gender
identification, norms, and analysis in medieval texts.
2) Issues of Enclosure and Space in medieval texts – negotiating
"spheres" of influence; is being "inside" (buildings, family, church,
restrictive norms) always a symbol of imprisonment? Is being "outside"
always a symbol of power and freedom?
3) New directions and approaches to Medieval research and analysis --
using contemporary theoretical approaches to analyzing "old" texts;
deciphering "speech" and "gender" in old texts; the dilemma of
"non-authorial" research.
E-mail submissions are strongly encouraged; please put "GES Conference
Proposal" in the subject line for all electronic submissions.
Participants may present no more than two papers or be on no more than
two panels.
Abstracts/Proposals (250 words) and inquiries should be addressed to:
