Please join us for the 60th Annual Convention of the Rocky Mountain
Modern Language Association to be held in Tucson, Arizona on October
12-14, 2006. This year's Women's Caucus Seminar theme is "Earth, Wind,
Water and Fire: Representations of Gender and Natural Elements in
Literature and Film."

Proposals for 15-minute papers are sought from scholars working in all
areas of literature, film, and gender studies. In keeping with this
year's theme, we welcome studies related to how gender is represented or
understood in connection with the natural world and how such
representations help create or shape individual, class, racial and
ethnic identities or mythologies.

The Better-Known Chopin: Making It New
  
For over fifty years, The Awakening and stories like "Desiree's Baby" and
"The Story of an Hour" have been part of the literary canon and staples of
the classroom. As the times and contexts change, we are finding new
approaches and new perspectives on these familiar works. For this ALA
panel, which is sponsored by The Kate Chopin Society, papers and
presentations should provide some re-visionings of Kate Chopin's
better-known fiction: proposing innovative critical approaches, developing
