Dear Colleagues
(Apologies for the previous error in posting)
Please join us at Keele University, UK, for the inaugural conference of the
Women in Literature Forum! It will take place in the Science Learning Centre
at Keele University on 14th June 2007. This year’s event, which will
hopefully be the first of many, will focus on women in Russian literature. In
organising this event, we are aiming to establish a forum which will bring together
people who are researching feminism and gender in literature across all
cultures, from both within the Keele community and beyond.
The papers to be presented are as follows:
Dr Linda Edmondson, Birmingham University: ‘Women in Nineteenth-Century
Russia: Social and Historical Perspectives.’
Kathryn Ambrose, Keele University: ‘Turgenev’s Women: Terrible Perfection?’
Victoria O’Neill, Keele University: 'Durova and Theorising Femininity
and Masculinity.'
Rebecca Barrett, Keele University: 'Pioneering Women: Nadezhda
Sokhanskaia and Nadezhda Khvoshchinskaia.’
Professor Joe Andrew, Keele University: ‘A Room of One’s Own’, Part II:
Narrative, Gender and Space in The Fiancée.’
This will be an all day event, and will include lunch and tea/coffee. The
fee for attending will be £10 for students and £21 for staff. If you wish to
attend, please contact Kathryn Ambrose off-list(_rhd19 at ihum.keele.ac.uk_
(mailto:rhd19 at ihum.keele.ac.uk) ) to book your place, by no later than 25th May
2007.
I would be most grateful if you could forward details of this event to
anyone who you think would be interested.
Many thanks!
