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'm especially interested in receiving abstracts/proposals that deal
with the following suggested topics; however, any abstract dealing with
Literature/Film is welcomed and will be considered:
"It Came from Outerspace" -- Examining Older Sci-fi "B" movies ('50s and
'60s) as a genre category of its own
The accuracy of fairy tales vs. the movie industry.
How do historical facts reveal themselves (or not) in film?
How does the use of imagery (symbols, colors, whatever) in novels reveal
itself in film and how does it affect the outcome of the film?
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:
