UPDATE: [Science] New Directions in Critical Theory Conference––Deadline Changed

DEADLINE UPDATE

New Directions in Critical Theory is an annual interdisciplinary graduate
student conference at the University of Arizona; the 2008 conference will
focus on a self-conscious examination of the ways we do work at the
university. While interdiscplinarity questions the boundaries that mark
off everything from university departments to methods of inquiry, the
space between disciplines is not a neutral zone. When we shuffle prefixes
and suffixes in an attempt to announce new disciplines and identities, we
work in a liminal space that we participate in creating. This endeavor
must be undertaken cautiously; remapping disciplines and identities is
never an innocent game.

Call for Papers for one of two panels at the 2008 MLA, sponsored by the Dickens Project in
partnership with the Dickens Society.

Victorian Vulgarity
Were the 1800s a “century of vulgarity” as Gilbert Osmond claims? Consider
vulgarity in contexts such as: class and race relations; decorum, taste,
and language use; the body, dirt, sexuality and disgust; assessments of
verbal, visual and performance art.

Abstract and brief c.v. by 1 Mar. to Elsie B. Michie (enmich_at_lsu.edu)
