The 7th Annual GES Conference will be held February 22-23, 2002 at Texas Tech University in Lubbock, Texas. The theme of this year's conference, "Past and Future Perspectives: Negotiating our Changing Field," addresses our changing field from the graduate scholar's perspective. The palindrome of the year suggests examination of ways our past can help us deal with our future regarding issues arising from new theories, cultural shifts, evolving technologies, and recent discoveries.
I am interested in abstracts/proposals which address any aspect of Renaissance and Shakespeare topics -- drama, poetry, and prose. This could include issues of gender, new approaches to studying Renaissance and Shakespearean literature, under-represented writers in the canon, modern adaptations of Renaissance or Shakespearean literature, and narrative/poetry conventions and research.
E-mail submissions are strongly encouraged; please put "GES Conference Proposal" in the subject line for all electronic submissions. Participants may present no more than two papers or be on no more than two panels.
Abstracts/Proposals (250 words) and inquiries should be addressed to:
