*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: [log in to unmask] <mailto:[log in to unmask]> OR Patricia Demers Gary Kelly Department of English and Film Studies University of Alberta Edmonton, Alberta Canada T6G 2E5 For more information about the conference, please see our website: http://www.crcstudio.arts.ualberta.ca/wwr_conference ********** * Visit the Writing and the Digital Life blog http://www.hum.dmu.ac.uk/blogs/wdl/ * To alter your subscription settings on this list, log on to Subscriber's Corner at http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/lists/writing-and-the-digital-life.html * To unsubscribe from the list, email [log in to unmask] with a blank subject line and the following text in the body of the message: SIGNOFF WRITING-AND-THE-DIGITAL-LIFE
