CFP: Practical Approaches to Teaching Culture (03/01/07; RMMLA, Oct 4-7, 2007, Calgary, Albert, Canada)

I am seeking submissions for the Rocky Mountain Modern Language Association's "Practical Approaches to Teaching Culture" panel, to be presented at the 61st annual RMMLA convention in Calgary, Alberta, Canada (October 4-7, 2007).

In today's multicultural environment, college instructors are challenged to develop lessons that increase students' understanding of culture and intercultural interaction. By integrating innovative and creative lessons into our curricula, we can engage students so that they apply the lessons they learn in the classroom to the world around them.

(dis)junctions 2007: Malappropriation Nation
April 6th and 7th 2007
            
Call for Papers: humanities and social
sciences University of California Riverside’s
Fourteenth Annual Graduate Humanities Conference

Abstract deadline: 2/16/07

This is a call for papers that address the topic of gay masculinity. Can there be such a thing, or rather, are there many types of masculinities or is there only one masculinity? Must a gay masculinity (which is usually labeled as inadequate or excessive) always be defined against the heteronormative definition of what is masculine ? Academic pieces that consider these topics, and others of the same theme, are welcome.

Shakespeare on the world stage, including television and film.
