UPDATE: Teaching Irish Literature as Post-colonial
Editors: Bridget Matthews-Kane and Claire Schomp
New Deadline for Abstracts: August 1, 2004

While we are pleased with the initial response to this collection, we are
extending our deadline in order to solicit abstracts on remaining topics we
feel deserve attention.

Specifically, we are looking for abstracts on Irish dramatists, particularly
Friel, and Irish poets, particularly Yeats. We would also be interested in
seeing works on Swift or Wilde. Abstracts on contemporary and non-canonical
Irish authors are also sought. We also welcome more abstracts concerned with
comparative approaches between Irish and other post-colonial literatures.

CFP: Special Issue of Journal of International Women's
Studies (deadline: 15 Nov 2004)

Volumes: New Perspectives on the Gendered Construction
of Space(s)

>From prisons to temples, red-light districts to office
parks, malls to street markets, toilets to tea
gardens, space reflects and reproduces power
relations. This special issue of the JIWS seeks to
examine the topic of gendered constructions of
space(s). How does space structure our understanding
of gender? How does it participate in cultural
constructions of race, class, and sexuality? What are
the political and economic dimensions of the spaces
that we construct and that construct us?
