ALA Annual Conference in Boston, May 25-28, 2023
The Elizabeth Bishop Society is calling for paper proposals for the American Literature Association conference on May 25-28, 2023 in Boston at the Westin Copley Place Hotel. The topic will be open.
We are looking for papers on any aspect of Elizabeth Bishop’s work. We are open to papers involving innovations in genre, connections with other writers, interdisciplinary approaches, and discussions of environmental, transnational, historical, geographical, archival, gender, queer, psychological, child development, and animal studies.
If interested, please email a proposed title and abstract of approximately 200 words by January 15, addressed to myself at ttravisano@mac.com and to Advisory Board members Bethany Hicok at bfh1@williams.edu and Angus Cleghorn at angus.cleghorn@senecacollege.ca.
Details about the conference, hotel reservations, a tentative conference schedule, and covid policies may be found at the ALA website at: https://americanliteratureassociation.org/ala-conferences/ala-annual-conference/
Sincerely
Thomas Travisano, President
