CFP: Peace Review: Call for Peace Profiles (no deadline; journal issue)

updated: 
Saturday, October 29, 2005 - 6:48pm
Peace Review

PEACE REVIEW: A JOURNAL OF SOCIAL JUSTICE seeks Peace Profiles for its
subsequent issues. In each of our quarterly issues, we run a Peace
Profile, which describes the peace or human rights work of an
individual or group. We're looking for more of these profiles, in
essays of between 2500-3500 words. The individual or group profiled
may be historical or contemporary. Very well known figures might have
already been profiled, and thus we're more interested in lesser known
but still significant individuals and organizations. Peace Profiles
may be submitted at any time, although our writer deadlines are
generally in mid-October, mid-January, mid-April, and mid-July. Please

Kathryn Duncan (Faculty)

The South Central Society for Eighteenth-Century Studies
will hold its annual conference at Cocoa Beach, Florida,
February 23-26, 2006. My co-chair, Michael Stasio, and I
are interested in papers that take an interdisciplinary
approach to literature published during the long
eighteenth century (1660-1815, not including the
Romantics). Papers might combine psychology and
literature, music and literature, art and literature, etc.
Please send a short abstract to Kathryn Duncan at
kathryn.duncan_at_saintleo.edu by November 1, 2005. For more

We are soliciting contributions for an anthology which will address the ways in
