Call for Proposals: Special Session on Women & Work in Literature (PAMLA, Seattle University)

Post date: 19 February 2012
Deadline: 31 March 2012

Call for proposals: Special Session on “Women and Work,” Pacific Ancient and Modern Language Association annual conference, Seattle University, October 19-21, 2012.

How do writers represent the work of being women—where “work” is defined broadly to encompass not only paid labor inside and outside the home, but also the work of performing femininity and domesticity? How do writers address social assumptions about who should be performing work, and for what purpose?

Please send proposals, including a title and 50-word abstract, to Susanne Weil: sweil@centralia.edu. Please also submit your proposal electronically on the PAMLA website: www.pamla.org.

The deadline for proposals is March 31, 2012.
