Call for Papers Women Writing and Reading: Past and
Present, Local and Global
4-6 May 2007 At the University of Alberta, Edmonton,
AB, Canada
This three day conference, being held at the
University of Alberta, offers a forum for academics
and the wider community to discuss issues around the
theme of women as writers and readers. The aim of the
conference is to explore these issues in the past and
present, and in a local and global context.
We invite contributions from a wide variety of
perspectives social, literary, artistic, historical,
political, economic, scientific, legal, philosophical,
and so on. What, why, and how do women read and write?
What conditions shape women's reading and writing?
What is the relationship between women's reading and
writing? We are seeking proposals that engage with
these questions in innovative ways.
The scope of the conference also includes performing
and creative arts. Presentations may be in the form of
individual papers, entire panels, workshops, creative
pieces, performance, film or video, multimedia
projects, and any other alternative formats.
Individual presentations should be 20 minutes long,
for inclusion in a 90 minute session with plenty of
time for discussion and feedback. A selection of
papers will be published.
Early submission is encouraged. Deadline for proposals
is 28 February. Please send proposals of 300 words to
the conference organizers by email or regular mail to:
