ESSE 2006 CALL FOR PAPERS

Edmonton Symposium on Empirical Studies of Literature and Culture

The Canadian members of REDES are pleased to announce the first ESSE (Empirical
Studies Symposium in Edmonton) Symposium. REDES (Research Development of
Empirical Studies) is a multi-cultural enterprise instigated by researchers of
the Federal University of Rio (Brazil), University of Munich (Germany), and
University of Utrecht (Netherlands), which promotes empirical studies of
culture in international cooperation (http://www.redes.de/). It is the
announced aim of REDES to disseminate empirical research methods, to train
students, and to involve them in independent research from an early stage in
their careers.

The theme of ESSE is "empirical, historical, and pedagogical studies of
language, literature, and culture: trends and possibilities".

The symposium will take place at the University of Alberta, in the Senate
Chamber of the Old Arts Building, on Thursday April 20 and Friday 21, 2006. In
accordance with the aims of the REDES project, the Symposium is open to all
junior and senior researchers with interests in empirical, historical, and
pedagogical research in language, literature, and culture.
