Papers are being sought for an international conference to be held at

I am seeking proposals for 10-minute presentations on the topic of women
in August Wilson's cycle of plays. I hope to put together a roundtable
for ALA in Boston (May 24-27, 2007) on the often-unappreciated role
women play in Wilson's depiction of twentieth-century African American
experience.

Please send abstracts of approximately 200 words to
beaulieea_at_appstate.edu by December 1, 2006. I would like to include
short papers on 6 or 7 of Wilson's plays, as well as time for discussion
among panelists and audience members.

The Social History of Alcohol and Drugs: An Interdisciplinary Journal is a
specialized journal dealing with the history of alcohol and drugs (defined
broadly) throughout the world. We frequently consider representations of
drugs and alcohol in literature and with the use of drugs and alcohol by
literary figures. Our journal appears both in print and on our website at
http://www.historyofalcoholanddrugs.typepad.com.

If you might be interested in reviewing books for us, please send an email
with a description of your area of specialization and a copy of your CV to
our book review editor, Elaine Parsons, at parsonse_at_duq.edu.
