Subject: graduate student conference
Date: Mon, 7 Oct 1996 21:17:19 -0400 (EDT)


I would like to announce a call for papers from graduate students in all 
disciplines for the annual graduate English conference at Radford 
University.  The title of the conference is "Culture and the Literary," 
and the conference will take place on Saturday, March 22, 1997.  Papers 
are invited from all literary genres and periods.  We especially invite 
submissions of essays which engage in current theories of gender, 
nationhood, and popular and material culture.  Cross-disciplinary papers 
may involve the fields of Philosophy, Communications, History, Sociology, 
Biology, and Anthropology; other areas and perspectives are welcomed.  
Panels with representatives from diverse disciplines are strongly 
encouraged to submit.  Panel proposals and individual abstracts are due 
by November 22, 1996.  Inexpensive accommodations are available for 
out-of-town graduate students.  The registration fee of $20 includes a 
brown-bag lunch.

Send submissions and queries to:
