Panel at Collective Atmospheres, ASLE 2025 Biennial Conference July 8-11, 2025 University of Maryland, College Park

The Willa Cather Foundation seeks proposals for 1-2 panels at the 36th annual conference of the American Literature Association, held at the Westin Copley in Boston from May 21-24, 2025.

Topics could include (but are by no means limited to) race and ethnicity, indigeneity, settler colonialism, Queer histories, labor and leisure, Cather and other writers, teaching Cather, urban/rural spaces, philosophy and religion, approaches to Cather’s letters, ecological issues, and material culture.

While proposals on any topic pertaining to Cather’s life and writing are welcome, 2025 marks the centennial of the publication of The Professor’s House, so papers on that novel would be of particular interest.
