I invite submissions for a panel I am proposing for the 2006 MLA
conference in Philadelphia. The topic is "The Spanish Golden Age and

specialist (broadly defined to include both medievalists and
Renaissance specialists) at a smaller college or university: attracting
students, curricular and extracurricular innovations, connections
between research and teaching, and other topics of interest to the
Golden Age community. 250-word abstracts are due by March 15, 2006 to
the following address: Michael W. Joy, Department of Modern Foreign
