DHLSNA

Abstracts are welcome on any topic in D.H. Lawrence studies, including any aspect of his fiction, poetry, and essays, literary contacts, and place in modernism.  We are especially interested in papers relating to the theme of the upcoming international D.H. Lawrence conference, to be held in Taos, New Mexico in July 2020: "Lawrence's 1920s: North America and the 'Spirit of Place'."

The online conference will use the Zoom meeting platform, but will follow the traditional format of in-person meetings.  Each session will be led by a Chair and will feature a respondent, a senior Lawrence scholar who will provide constructive commentary on the papers.  Our aim is to enable as many students as possible to participate without budgetary pressures.  There is no conference fee but DHLSNA membership is required for presenters (student rate: $10 USD).  

Please send an abstract of 200-300 words and a concise CV to Adam Parkes, Professor of English at the University of Georgia, at aparkes@uga.edu.

The D.H. Lawrence Society of North American solicits proposals for a panel on Lawrence at the South Atlantic Modern Language Association conference in Jacksonville, Florida on November 13-15, 2020.  The conference theme is “Scandal! Literature and Provocation: Breaking Rules, Making Texts.”  Possible topics for a Lawrence panel might be: obscenity, pornography, censorship, tyranny, fascism, feminism, race and racism, dissent and dissidence, antagonism, xenophobia, the people, or popular culture. 

Please send an abstract of 200-300 words, a brief bio, and A/V requirements to Adam Parkes, University of Georgia, at aparkes@uga.edu
