Conference Announcements
* The D.H. Lawrence Review website has gotten a modern makeover created by its new webmaster, Jeff Brackett (retaining its same web-address). * MLA 2022 (Washington, DC: Jan. 6-9, 2022) The DHLSNA invites papers for a panel on “Lawrence, Disease, and Recovery.” * Message from Susan Reid regarding 15th Int. Lawrence Conf: Dear colleagues and friends,
Given the continuing uncertainties of the COVID-19 pandemic we have taken the difficult decision to postpone the 15th International D. H. Lawrence Conference in Taos, New Mexico another year until July 2022, which now seems a much more likely date for us to plan to gather together again in safety. Nanette Norris and Holly Laird will announce the new dates and other information shortly.
However, please keep the dates of 12-14 July 2021 in your calendars for a virtual symposium on the theme of ‘D. H. Lawrence, Distance and Proximity’. A series of online roundtables and workshops of short papers will be hosted on Zoom with no fee for registration and everyone is invited to attend any or all of the events, regardless of whether you are scheduled to present.
During this necessary intermission in the conference schedule, we aim to bring Lawrence scholars and enthusiasts from around the world into proximity with Lawrence and each other. Accordingly, the symposium will be scheduled to accommodate international time zones. We also aim to offer opportunities for online publication of papers as well as print publication of finished research.
Please see the opening call for workshop proposals attached and note the deadline of 28 February 2021. Please also share these details with your networks.
We hope to see you online or in person soon, but meanwhile, please continue to take care of yourselves and your families and friends during the ongoing health crisis.
With every good wish, Sue

News from the D.H. Lawrence Ranch Initiatives Fund
CCILC, DHLR, & Training Manual We have several new webpages including information regarding the Co-ordinating Committee for International Lawrence Conferences (CCILC), a link to the DHLR website, and an Officers Training Manual (a work-in-progress) to help ease the transition between terms of office and to maintain continuity for our robust organization. With all the duties being integrated through the DHLSNA website, it makes sense to facilitate the learning curve by providing procedural instruction, computer tips, and timelines for the various roles. This will be an on-going project since we are still learning the simplest and most efficient means of running our organization electronically. We hope that all our officers will contribute their experience to help guide their successors. Newsletter Archive Open The DHLSNA Newsletter Archive has been opened to the general public. Created by our Newsletter editor, Julie Newmark, this handy reference contains back-issues dating from 1980 through last year. The current year's issues will still be reserved for members only. Links to the 2019 Newsletters are available in the Directory section after login. For the latest issues, join today! Website Additions * Some new website resources have been added to the Links page including the Salisbury House Blog "D.H. Lawrence: A Manuscript Mystery." *Photo Request* for the International Lawrence Conferences in Sydney, Australia, and Gargnano, Italy Please submit any digital photos from the conferences or excursions that you wish to share with our members to Tina Ferris. They will be used to create a members-only Gallery page (coming soon) or for the newsletter.
