Special Focus: The Power of Poetry in the Modern World
We are Currently accepting Session Proposals and Calls for Papers
Mothering in Poetry: GENDER STUDIES
This session seeks paper proposals that explore the various images of modern mothering and motherhood in poetry. Topics may include, but are not limited to, constructions or changes of mothering identities and motherhood in poetry; discussions of “good” or “bad” mothering in poetry; complexities of mothering and motherhood in poetry, especially as they intersect with race, discrimination, class, gender, economics, nation, family, community, education, technology, and language; new connections between mothering and motherhood and the modern world in poetry; and ideological and social debates of mothering and motherhood in poetry.
By May 20, 2010, please send a one- to two-page abstract and a short C.V. (including complete contact information) to DorsÃa Smith Silva, University of Puerto Rico, Rio Piedras, at djsmithsilva@yahoo.com.
