Proposals are invited for a session on disability and American Studies at the 2011 South Atlantic Modern Language Association convention in Atlanta, GA. The panel welcomes proposals that analyze any aspect of the topic including fiction, poetry, drama, and film, as well as non-literary materials from all periods. Proposals may interpret “America” and “American” broadly, and panelists are welcome but not required to consider the special convention focus, “The Power of Poetry in the Modern World.”
