The 2006 Ohio Shakespeare Conference will be held on the campus of
Marietta College this coming November 9th-11th. The theme of this
year's meeting will be "Violently Shakespeare." As is always the case
with the OSC, papers that thoughtfully employ any theoretical approach
are welcome. We are posting here on the Penn CFP early in the hope that
you'll consider us when putting together your travel schedule for next
year. Check our web page around mid-April to get complete, updated
information about the Marietta conference. If you visit the page now,
you can read all about our last two meetings (Cincinnati and Toledo).

Please submit paper proposals for a panel on race and citizenship in early
America, to be presented at the NEASA "Homeland Insecurity" conference in
Portland, Maine next September. Abstract and brief cv, please. Information on
the conference is available at www.neasa.org. The deadline for submissions is
Mar 15; I'll be happy to answer any questions before then.
