The Society for Critical Exchange, 1976-2006: An Anniversary Exchange about
the Future of Theory and the Role of the Society
The Society for Critical Exchange, North America's oldest scholarly
organization devoted to advancing collaborative, cross-disciplinary
research in theory, will celebrate its thirtieth anniversary at the MLA
convention in Philadelphia, 27-30 December 2006.
We anticipate five- to ten-minute presentations including provocative

concrete proposals for projects it might sponsor, and the roles(s) it ought
to serve.

As engagements with "Romantic Science" become increasingly varied and
complex, references to the life and works of Erasmus Darwin appear
with increasing frequency in a multitude of contexts. Similarly,
treatments of Darwin's connections to contemporary literary figures,
as well as reexaminations of his own status as a popular poet,
suggest that sustained attention to Darwin can further enrich our
understandings of the relation between poetry and science. Papers
exploring any aspect of these issues in Darwin's works will be
considered. Possible topics may include: Darwin and Evolutionary
Thought; Poetics of Zoology and/or Botany; Darwin and the Lives of

CFP: Aging and the Young (3/1/06; MLA 12/27-12/30/06)
Aging and the Young: Representations of Old Age in Young Adult and
Children's Literature
What do storybooks teach children about getting old? How do
children's books and books for young adults construct lifetimes on a
personal and a social level? How do such books contribute to ageism,
age positivism, or a multiplicity of views? How could they do things
differently? How can and do books for pre-adults prepare people to
embrace the challenges of getting older throughout the life
cycle? Papers on all aspects of old age in children's and young
adult literature welcomed.
