Ethics and Literary Experience
"the only effect I ardently long to produce by my writings, is that those who read them should be better able to imagine and to feel the pains and the joys of those who differ from themselves in everything but the broad fact of being struggling erring human creatures"—George Eliot
Though various scholars (Thomson, Mitchell and Snyder, Holmes, Quayson) have produced essential recent studies of disability in British, American, and World Literature, the application of Disability Studies to literary studies has often focused on the genres of prose fiction and non-fiction. This special session at the PAMLA Annual Conference will promote the further study of disability in poetry. Proposals are invited for papers concerning such topics as the representation of disability in verse, the meaning of a "poetics" of disability, and/or the work of disabled poets from any time period or region.

Composing Live(s): Writing the Self and the Other within the Disciplines
March 25, 2011, 9:00-4:00 Oxford, Ohio
"To withdraw myself from myself has ever been my sole, my entire, my sincere motive in scribbling at all." —Lord Byron
Writing about lives, writing that lives, or writing that comes to us live from an immediate, connected source shapes how we as scholars and teachers conceive of ourselves and others. Writing works within and out of academia to continually (re)define what is and is not important, what is and is not canonized, and what is and is not ignored within many discourse communities.
*Teaching (Neo) Slave Narratives*
