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.

two panels.
