}} Annual Graduate English Conference at Radford University

}} Saturday, March 22, 1997

}} What is the nature of the constant interactions between culture and the
}} literary? How can academic disciplines engage the literary and still be
}} mindful of culture? Through what processes have connections been made in
}} the past between culture and the literary? How might we forge new
}} correspondences between textual criticism and theories of culture?
}}
}} Papers are invited from all literary genres and periods. We especially
}} invite submissions of essays which engage in current theories of gender,
}} nationhood, and popular and material culture. Cross-disciplinary papers
}} may involve the fields of Philosophy, Communications, History, Sociology,
}} Biology, and Anthropology; other areas and perspectives are welcomed.
}} Panels with representatives from diverse disciplines are strongly
}} encouraged to submit.
