If you enjoyed GEMCS 2001 in Philadelphia, come join us for GEMCS 2008--
to be held this time at Loews Hotel on Market Street. A National
Historic Landmark, the former PSFS Building, built in 1932, is the
world's first Modernist skyscraper. The luxurious renovations
conscientiously preserved such features as the black granite floors,
brass elevators, a steel vault, and Art-Deco Cartier clocks.

Located downtown, Loews is one block from City Hall and Reading Terminal
Market and only one mile from the Liberty Bell or the Franklin Institute
Science Museum. Other city attractions, including the Philadelphia
Museum of Art, the Philadelphia Zoo, and a large number of galleries and
museums, are only a short distance away and can be reached via the city's
public transportation system.

Did you know that Philadelphia has more archives and repositories
relevant to early modern cultural studies gathered in one area than most
other US cities its size? Attend the GEMCS conference and locate
valuable research resources at the same time!
 
Did you know that Philadelphia is one of the premiere restaurant capitals
in the US? In this year dedicated to the theme of “Appetite, Desire, and
Gargantuan Pleasures,” the organizing committee for GEMCS 2008 will line
up a “moveable feast” through some of Philadelphia’s finest restaurants
for discriminating GEMCan palates (pre-registration required)
 
Proposals for workshops, special sessions, pedagogical panels, works-in-
progress talks and other formats will continue to be accepted through
July 11. Point your browser to the GEMCS link at
