Joint Meeting of CSECS/NEASECS/Aphra Behn Society

hosted by McMaster University

Hamilton, ON, 27–29 October, 2011

“Intersections of Eco-feminist Criticism and Place Theory in Female-Authored Texts of the Long Eighteenth Century” Cassie Childs, University of South Florida, Department of English, 4202 E. Fowler Ave. CPR 107, Tampa, FL 33620. E-mail: cassiechilds at mail.usf.edu<mailto:cassiechilds at mail.usf.edu>

This panel seeks to explore the connections between science, place, and literature in female authored texts of the long eighteenth century.  In particular, this panel seeks papers that address texts other than novels – periodicals, dramas, and/or poetry. Papers might consider such questions as: What intersections appear between scientific and female-authored texts?  How are familiar texts reimagined from an eco-feminist standpoint?  What are the significances of authorial place/location in female-authored texts?  The preference is for papers to address issues of an interdisciplinary nature or from an interdisciplinary frame. Dr. Laura Runge, from University of South Florida, will be the respondent for this panel.

I realize that this is last minute and requires a quick turnaround, so please either e-mail me that you are interested and include a paper title or send a short (100-200 word) abstract.  Please contact Cassie Childs (cassiechilds at mail.usf.edu<mailto:cassiechilds at mail.usf.edu>) no later than Saturday, April 9th.
