[ecrea] CFP--2017 Reception Studies Conference

*CALL FOR PAPERS

*The Seventh Biennial Conference of the RECEPTION STUDY SOCIETY
The Saint Paul Hotel and St. Catherine University
Sept. 21-23, Saint Paul, Minn.

Thursday through Sunday

The Reception Study Society promotes informal and formal exchanges 
between scholars in several related fields: reader-response criticism 
and pedagogy, reception history, history of reading and the book, 
audience and communication studies, institutional studies, and gender, 
race, ethnic, sexuality, postcolonial, religious, and other studies.  We 
welcome presentations on all aspects of reception studies, but this year 
we especially encourage papers and panels on the theme: “Feminist 
Reception: Celebrating Thirty Years,” which commemorates the women’s 
march on Washington as well as the publication of books like /Gender and 
Reading/, the anthology by Beth Flynn and Patsy Schweikart, who will be 
speaking at the conference.

Proposals for panels and papers in any of these areas are now welcome. 
Please submit proposals of 250 words or less, along with a one-page cv 
to Daniel Morris at (dmorris /at/ purdue.edu) <mailto:(dmorris /at/ purdue.edu)> by 
May 15, 2017.  Contact Professor Morris at (dmorris /at/ purdue.edu)
