In keeping with the theme of the conference, we have planned a number of
community-oriented events and workshops, including small reading groups
focusing on the conference common text, Jacob's Room.

Several exciting plenary talks and workshops are planned with Woolf scholars
such as Susan Stanford Friedman, Urmila Seshagiri, Jane De Gay, Ann Fernald,
Beth Rigel Daugherty, Patricia Laurence, and a number of others to be
announced.

Michelle Taylor, of Miami University of Ohio, is organizing a special
session on Woolf and Toni Morrison at the Underground Railroad Freedom
Center in nearby Cincinnati, OH. For information and suggestions on the
Woolf/ Morrison event, contact Michelle at taylorm5_at_muohio.edu.
