Subject: Darwin's Reach: Call for Papers
Dear All,
Hofstra University (about 30 minutes East of NYC) is hosting a
conference on Darwin's legacy (March 12-14, 2009), and I include the URL
here for anyone interested in giving a paper or suggesting a panel:
http://www.hofstra.edu/Community/culctr/culctr_events_darwin.html
The conference organizer, Dan Rubey (cc'ed above), is dean of Hofstra's
Library, and he (himself a medievalist) tells me that he hopes the
conference will attract scholars in all disciplines. I am wondering if
textual scholars working on Darwin, or on the idea of textual evolution,
might be interested in presenting. (I'm not sure when STS is scheduled
for next year; does anyone have that info?)
yrs,
John Bryant
