CFP: Early Modern Extra-Curriculars (3/29/03; MMLA, 11/7/03-11/9/03)

“Early Modern Extra-Curriculars”

Call for Papers for the 2003 Midwest Modern Language Association.

Convention in Chicago on November 7-9.

This session will explore Renaissance educations cultivated outside
the university. In looking at education "outside," the session seeks
to investigate *how* and *what* popular, experimental, or even obscene
texts and forms taught-—and to what effect. Renaissance versions of
"Sex-Ed," "Home-Ec," and "Voc-Ed" are just a few of the courses
panelists might study to reveal an early modern educational program
much broader than that found in universities' humanist and scholastic
curricula. Essays on works that thematize pedagogy and focus
explicitly on the relationship between "mainstream" and
non-conventional education are also welcome. Our focus on "Early
Modern Extra-Curriculars" aims to complement this year’s conference
theme of "The University" by looking both at and around
institutionalized education in the period.
