    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.

    While I am especially interested in submissions which deal with aspects
    of the following suggested topics, abstracts dealing with any
    Contemporary American Literature topic are welcome and will be
    considered:

    1) Narrative and Language Theory: Trends and Perspectives;
    2) Cybernetic and Experimental Fiction: The Future is Now;
    3) Multi-Ethnic, Multi-Social, Multi-Cultural Literature: Negotiating
    Issues of Social and Cultural Identity

    In addition, abstracts/proposals dealing with other issues of
    Contemporary American Literature will be considered: Regional American
    Literature (Southwestern, Southern, etc.) that don't necessarily focus
    on ethnic issues; Modernist and Post-Modernist literature -- a new look;
    abstracts on individual authors in Contemporary American Literature.

    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.
