"TRUTH WILL OUT":

This 2-day international conference aims to provide a forum for scholars

how such acts and people are imagined in the early modern period. We
hope to encourage inter-disciplinary exchange and debate which will
contribute to the widening interest and scholarship in these areas. To
facilitate diversity in theoretical approaches, interests, and
methodologies, the topical, temporal and geographical scope of the
conference is purposefully broad.

 "Classroom Taboos: A Practical Exploration." This panel intends to
explore the use of controversial material in the classroom. The nature
of the university experience presents a distinctive set of challenges,
including the appropriate integration of taboo language and concepts
into the educational process. Students and teachers, alike, may find
certain language inflammatory, but is it possible to respect cultural
differences while retaining an atmosphere of free intellectual
discourse in English studies? Adding further complexity to this issue
are the instructor's internal ethical concerns, pressures to conform
to proscribed institutional policies, and rapidly shifting standards
