Re-Mapping Cities: Gendered Performances of Urban Lives

V.G. Julie Rajan, Ph.D., and Caterina Romeo, Ph.D., eds.

Transnational movements and migrations have increasingly renegotiated notions of national territory and migrant identity. In some contexts, nations have represented migrants as enemies of national identity in the attempt to subdue the nationalistic anxiety that has arisen from the presumed necessity to protect a territory. In turn, migrants have resisted that marginalization and have imposed new cartographies onto the territories they have come to inhabit.

  Submission deadline: March 31, 2007
   
  We invite abstracts for papers, roundtable discussions, and presentation/lectures on any topic related to (un)natural selection, genetics, and eugenics and their representation in the works of novelist and futurist Robert A. Heinlein.
   
  Many of Heinlein's short stories and novels include characters who are products of careful genetic manipulation or other forms of unnatural selection. A prime example is the Howard Families, most especially Lazarus Long. By exploring the scientific and ethical consequences of unnatural selection, Heinlein uncovered both potential benefits and hazards of taking control of human evolution, or certain aspects thereof.

  We invite abstracts for papers, roundtable discussions, and presentation/lectures on any topic related to economics and its representation in the works of novelist and futurist Robert A. Heinlein.
   
  Applied economics appears in nearly all of Heinlein's novels and short stories, where he could examine its effects on both 20th-century life and theorize about how it would evolve in the near and far future. Papers, roundtable discussions, and lectures are welcome on all topics related to economics.
