The free online conference `Dickens's World' takes place this 
Wednesday and Thursday - don't miss out on your chance to register!

Register for free now at http://dickensworld.wordpress.com/

Video addresses will be presented by:

David Paroissien: Looking Back and Looking Forward: Shifting 
Perspectives in Dickens's Fiction

John Bowen: Beginning the World

Anne Stiles: Psychology, gender, and the brain in Dickens scholarship

The event provides an opportunity for an international group of 
scholars to discuss the work of one of the world's most important 
authors. The emphasis is on illustrating the many ways in which 
Dickens influenced, and was influenced by, his contact with other 
countries. More broadly, we hope the conference will encourage online 
discussion about the social, cultural and technological milieu in which 
(and of which) Dickens wrote.

We're delighted to announce that the following papers will be featured 
at the upcoming online conference Dickens' World. These will be freely 
available and open for discussion:

'Dickens on the Chinese Screen', Ting Guo

'Global Dickens', John O. Jordan

'The Manly Mind? Revisiting the Victorian 'Sex in Brain' Debate', Rob 
Boddice

'Testing a Civilisation: Charles Dickens on the American Penitentiary 
system', David Wilson

'Victorian Print Culture, Journalism and the Novel', Matthew Rubery

An additional 20 articles will be available for free during the 
conference.

We look forward to seeing you there!

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and as 
such can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered 
501(c) Non Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These 
donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your state tax
return (U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the IRS Web-Site,
or contact your financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match 
any gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your 
contacting your human resources department and sending us a form that the 
EMU Foundation fills in and returns to your employer. This is generally a
simple administrative procedure that doubles the value of your gift to
LINGUIST, without costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if
your company operates such a program.

Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
