sharp little chin into Alice’s shoulder as she added, “and the moral of
THAT is â€"‘Take care of the sense, and the sounds will take care of
themselves.”

crush it.

Expanding Literacy Studies is an International, Interdisciplinary
Conference for Graduate Students to be held April 3-5, 2009, at The Ohio
State University.

Literacy Studies is a recent construct. At the same time, it addresses
long-standing questions and concerns within and across disciplines. But
what is literacy? Who is studying it? And how is it being studied?

In his "Challenge Sermon" delivered at St. Paul’s Cross on November 26, 1559, Bishop John Jewel
argued that the Church Fathers were the true architects of the Christian religion and that the
English people would no longer be subjected to the sort of medieval tampering that had led the
one true Church astray. "The first five hundred years of the church," he would argue, "are worth
more than the whole thousand that followed afterward." For this collection, we are seeking
essays that address the topic of the Church Fathers in early modern English culture. Topics
addressed may include (but will not be limited to) the rhetorical, political, ethical, and material

The deadline for submissions to UNCG's Graduate conference, Writing into
the Profession, has been extended to June 30th.

Bibliography and Textual Studies: "People of the Books: Christianity and
Islam in Book Studies." Participants will consider elements of two
religions and cultures especially concerned not only with the contents
but the paratextual elements of their respective books. This panel is
particularly interested in the intersection of Christianity and Islam in
textual studies, although abstracts on any aspect of either religion as
it relates to bibliography will be considered. Please send 250-word
abstracts to Erin Mann, erin-mann_at_uiowa.edu, by June 15, 2008.
