The 13th Biennial Jack London Society Symposium will be held at Napa Valley College, September 15-17, 2016 in Napa Valley, California. The Jack London Society welcomes paper and panel submissions on any aspect of Jack London's life. Innovative formats such as roundtables or teaching presentations are encouraged, especially those that connect London with other writers of his time and place. Please email 250-300 word abstract proposals (noting any audio/visual requests) along with complete contact information to Kenneth K. Brandt at kbrandt@scad.edu. Proposal deadline is June 1, 2016. To commemorate the centenary of Jack London's death, participants will enjoy outstanding presentation venues at Napa Valley College, and have the opportunity to visit the Jack London State Historical Park for tours, picnicking, and a Gala Banquet. On Thursday, Friday, and Saturday we will hold regular sessions including panel presentations, plenary lectures, and roundtable discussions. Attendees can also attend a performance of Cecelia Tichi's play "The House That Jack Built." The Society will host a wine and cheese reception in the heart of Napa Valley. Please join us!
