The International Shaw Society announces an International
Bernard Shaw Conference, which will be co-hosted by Brown University in
Providence, Rhode Island, June 8-11, 2006, Asa Messer Emeritus Professor
Don Wilmeth presiding.
TOPICS: Papers (for twenty minute talks) may be on a wide range of
topics and written from any critical perspective but may speak, in
acknowledgment of Shaw's impending 150th birthday, of his longevity as a
canonical author and challenges to that, of the contributions he and his
works have made to a wide range of cultural fields, including the
theater of course, of whatever problematics he and his works anticipated
and/or exemplify, and in answer to the question of
whether Shaw still speaks to the contemporary world.
ABSTRACTS of 300-500 words, accompanied by a c.v. and cover letter,
should be sent to
Professor Richard Dietrich, preferably as an attachment to an email sent
