WOMEN IN FRENCH IN SCOTLAND


CALL FOR PAPERS


A one-day conference to be held at the University of Strathclyde
on Saturday 13 October 2007

The annual Women in French in Scotland conference is organised by women academics in French departments at Scottish Universities and has two broad aims:

- to promote scholarly exchange based on research in French Studies by or about women

- to maintain a network of contacts amongst women teaching and researching in French Studies

Abstracts (200 words) are invited for 20-minute papers in English or in French by or about women in any area of French Studies. Papers on teaching issues are also welcome and papers on non-literary topics (translation, politics, media) are particularly encouraged. Please send abstracts (and queries) to the organisers by 31 May 2007: Joy Charnley (j.charnley@strath.ac.uk) and Caroline Verdier (caroline.verdier@strath.ac.uk).

Speakers will include: Professors Lorna Milne, Mary Orr and Sian Reynolds

The conference will start around 10.00 and will include a series of papers as well as a discussion of professional matters concerning women in French Studies. It will provide a valuable opportunity to meet and discuss with female colleagues from other institutions.

Updates will regularly be posted on the WIFIS blog at: http://wifis.edublogs.org/

Conference fee: £16/£10

The University of Strathclyde is in central Glasgow, within walking distance of railway stations (Central and Queens Street) and Buchanan Bus Station.
