The conference organizers welcome discussions of Brook Evans and/or other works; artistic or performance approaches to Glaspell (including Interpreter's Theatre, adaptations , discussions of specific productions); and other topics related to Glaspell.

We invite proposals for individual papers, complete panels, or roundtables/discussion groups. While preference will be given to proposals concerning Brook Evans, all proposals of merit will receive full consideration. The conference organizers particularly welcome proposals from emerging scholars who have not previously presented at a scholarly meeting.
