[Aphra_behn_society] Chair for ABS sessions at ASECS 2012

[Karen B Gevirtz]

SEEKING A CHAIR FOR THE TWO APHRA BEHN SOCIETY PANELS AT ASECS 2012!


The Aphra Behn Society hosts two designated sessions at ASECS every year. Any member of the ABS is welcome to chair them, and I particularly and strongly invite anyone who is not yet active in our organization to take advantage of this opportunity. Panels may be on a scholarly or pedagogical issue; they may address the same topic or different ones, as long as the topic is related to women and the arts, 1660-1830. In 2011, the topics were “Performativity and Gender” and “Teaching Eighteenth-Century Literature as a Feminist Scholar in the New Millennium;” in 2010, the topic was “Enthusiastic Performances: Women and Spirituality in the Eighteenth Century.”


The chair’s responsibilities are not heavy. They include submitting the information form for ASECS (available at http://asecs.press.jhu.edu/index.html# as “seminar proposal form 2012”), putting out the call for papers for your panel (the ABS listserv is available to you as well as the usual sites), choosing the panelists for both panels, corresponding with those panelists, and chairing the sessions.



If you are interested, please write by April 15th, 2011 to me at Karen.gevirtz at shu.edu<mailto:Karen.gevirtz at shu.edu> with your topic for the panels.
