Berhampur University
                Berhampur  (Orissa)   INDIA 760 007             ph: 
011-91-680-200863

Registration:   $50  (includes room and board at the conference hotel 
for two days)

Gopalpur-on-Sea is a quiet beach resort on the Bay of Bengal on the central east
coast of India.  The nearest airport at Bhubaneswar (95 miles) is connected by 
bus, train, taxi and automobile.  The nearest railway station at Berhampur (5 
miles) is connected to Calcutta, Madras, and Mumbai (Bombay) by super fast 
express trains.  December is very mild in Gopalpur (50-60F degrees).  The beach 
is extremely clean and quiet.

Accommodation:  The conference will be held at the Vincent Retreat and all 
     participants will be housed there.  The conference registration 
     includes the cost of lodging and all meals.  Additional hotel 
     accommodation is also available within short walking distance at:  
     Oberoi Palm Beach  ($120/single; $190/double)
        Hotel Mermaid           ($20/single, includes meals)
     
     Orissa is a colorful state with a lot of tourist attractions.  Travel 
     to Bhubaneswar-Puri-Konark, known as the Golden Triangle, can be 
     arranged by the local coordinators for a small additional cost.
     
     For travel arrangements from the United States and for travel in other 
     parts of India (Delhi-Agra-Jaipur is a popular corridor), I recommend 
     Mrs. Hasu Tailor of Travel Exchange, Dallas (ph: 214-265-7562          
      fax: 214-265-9462).  In my experience working with her the last 
     twelve years, she has proved to be reliable, competent, and the most 
     competitive in price.

     Can someone send me a re-post of the call for the Cultural Studies/ 
     Postcolonial conference mentioned in Professor Devi's recent posting?  
     I must have missed it.
