MELUS is now accepting proposals for the following two panels at MLA
(December 27-30, 2007, Chicago):

1. Multi-ethnic Literature and Ecofeminism: Intersections

Ecofeminism sees a relationship among nature, women, and people of color.
How have multi-ethnic texts contributed to the ecofeminist or eco-political
agenda? What theoretical and practical issues are involved?

2. Trans/nation: Race, Ethnicity, Citizenship and the State of American
Literature

How have current studies on globalization/transnationalism impacted
our conceptions of American ethnic literatures? How have globalization
and transnationalism redefined 21st-century multi-ethnic American
literary studies?
