I have just realised - sorry to everyone - it is so easy to do this. Thanks for letting me know Marion.

>> When are you returning? As you will know, the proposal does not need to be submitted to IRSCL  until 15 November (I have been in contact with the convenor who expressed interest in the session). RIght now I'm getting a sense of whether I would have enough contributors for the panel. I have sent on the cfp to five listservs and the contributors to the collection that I'm co-editing on Global Perspectives on Death in Children's Literature (http://www.routledge.com/books/details/9781138815247/).

>>    I would very much like to be part of your panel and would speak about the work I did with DDT - it was a blend of theory and practice and has some children’s responses to the pbk.
>>    Two slight problems, firstly I am going away on Thursday and will not be able to get a 75 -100 word overview to you by then (mad busy at the moment). Secondly I too am organising a panel —— how will we know the the panels are not placed at the same time as each other?

>>    > The focus of IRSCL 2015 is “Creating Childhoods: Creation and (Re)-Interpretation through the Body, Histories and the Arts.” A panel is being formed to consider the powerful and significant connection between the Congress’s theme and that of death in children’s literature and film. How can what is absent be made present? How can silence, void, and emptiness be represented on the page and/or screen? What are the implications of narratives about children who disappear? What is the child's agency as a site of inscription of childhoods as these childhoods  relate to death? Why and how are new childhood(s) created from these inscriptions? How does a binary of children's and adult literature emerge and operate when treating death in children’s literature? These – and other – questions will be addressed.
>>    > For more information on the Congress, please refer to http://www.worcester.ac.uk/discover/irscl-22nd-biennial-congress-august-2015.html If you are interested in being a participant on this panel, please contact Lesley Clement, [log in to unmask] with a 75-100 word proposal and short bio by 31 October 2014.
