Proposals are sought for a paper session or sessions (2-3 papers per
session) on any aspect of Melissa Scott's work. I am especially interested
in proposals that are related to the themes of gender and sexuality in any
of her published works (listed below).

 

After assembling the proposal(s), I will submit the session proposal to the
appropriate Division Heads (International Association of the Fantastic in
the Arts) for the 28th ICFA Conference (March 14-18, 2007).

 

The theme of the 2007 conference is "Representing Self and Other: Gender
and Sexuality in the Fantastic." Scott is the Special Guest Writer, and I
am interested in making sure sessions entirely devoted to her work are
organized.

 

Guidelines: Please send a 500 word abstract and appropriate bibliography
(email preferred) along with required contact information to me no later
than November 26:

*Please* include any Audio/Video Requests with the initial proposal. Later

Presenters may present papers in only one session and must be members of
IAFA at the time of the conference. Presenters may chair another session
(other than their own), and if you're willing to chair, please indicate your
interest.
