The call for papers below is sent to colleagues
*across modern
languages* from WISPS.
(I think it looks fascinating and
would be very interested in
co-presenting something if any other WIGS member
is interested ...)

CALL FOR PAPERS
WiSPS (Women in
Spanish, Portuguese and Latin-American Studies) invite
colleagues from across
the Modern Languages to join us in reflecting on
the past, present and future
of women in Modern Languages. We welcome
papers that consider, critique, and
compare women's multiple and
sometimes conflicting roles in the field -
whether as objects of study
or as active professionals. We positively
encourage alternative paper
formats such as work in progress, round tables,
dialogues and
reflections, and invite both individual contributions and
partly or
fully formed panels.
Topics for discussion may include
(but are not limited to) the following
broad areas:
q Professional
practice
q Methodology
q Feminist theory
q Collaborations q Images of
women
q Histories of women
q The future of women's studies in ML
q The
history of women's studies in ML
Proposals (working on a basis of
20-minute blocks of time) should
include a title, an abstract of about 300
words, and your full contact
details (including an e-mail). Please send them,
by 30 June 2005, to
either of the following:
