Dear List--you may be getting this from others, too, in which case forgive
me. This is from the Attending to Women series of conferences (if you
would forgive a brief boast, the title was my doing and I hope you notice
the ambiguities and puns in "attending to women"). We would welcome
workshop proposals dealing with Wroth and/or Mary Sidney (or Elizabeth
Boyle?), but this time we are also expanding out topic a bit to include,
as you see, some questions about masculinity. We don't need conference
papers (we always invite speakers) but we do want workshop
proposals--multi-disciplinary, so we encourage proposals that come as
whole workshops, not just individual proposals, and that involve at least
two disciplines. The conference, with its stress on conversation, on-going
research, and puzzled invitations to help solve problems, is utterly
enjoyable, as a number of people on this list know. Be there! Anne
Prescott.

ANNOUNCING A CONFERENCE AND A CALL FOR WORKSHOP PROPOSALS!
Attending to Early Modern Women–and Men
November 9-11, 2006
Center for Renaissance & Baroque Studies
University of Maryland
College Park, MD 20742
As you can see from the conference title, the keynote address and
plenary speakers for the 2006 conference will focus on theorizing
masculinity and maleness; childhood; violence; and pedagogies. As a
workshop organizer, you are free to choose any one (or more) of these
plenary topics but are not obliged to consider masculinity.
The call for interdisciplinary workshop proposals is available online at:
http://www.crbs.umd.edu/atw/atw6/
Proposals for interdisciplinary workshops must be postmarked by August 22,
2005.
