Lisa N. D'Amico

Call for Papers
  Submission deadline: March 31, 2007
   
  We invite abstracts for papers, roundtable discussions, and presentation/lectures on any topic related to the representation of women in the works of novelist and futurist Robert A. Heinlein.
   
  Some critics and readers have lauded Heinlein as a feminist, applauding his strong female characters and representations of marriages as partnerships rather than dictatorships. Others, however, have pegged him as the opposite--or, most confusingly, a little of both. Most have a strong feeling one way or the other.

Call for Papers
  Submission deadline: March 31, 2007
   
  We invite abstracts for papers, roundtable discussions, and presentation/lectures on any topic related to ethics as represented in the works of novelist and futurist Robert A. Heinlein.
   
  Heinlein is well-known for exploring a wide range of ethical concerns in his novels and short stories. In works such as _For Us, the Living_, he experimented with new ethical structures and the ways in which they would impact human culture and development. Many of his characters operate outside ethical boundaries that we are familiar with and ask us to see their actions from their perspective rather than our own.
