Subject: SLS Session Proposal -- seeking another contributor

For the Fall conference in Durham, NC, we're looking for another
participant
in a session on the theme of 19th c. Nature Writing and Science (or,
Science
in Ecocriticism;  or, Writing Science into Nature).  If this piques your
interest, please reply to bcohen@vt.edu with a request for more
information
or just with an idea for a paper.  For the sake of the listserv's
possible
overburden, we'll forgo a long narrative here with complete details and
save
them for interested parties.
Cordially,
Ben

Subject: call for papers

For the SLS Conference in Durham NC, this is a call for papers for a
panel 
on AgriCultural Studies (i.e., the cultural studies of agriculture: the 
intertwined sociological, economic, literary, artistic, ideological and 
scientific practices involved in food production, distribution, 
consumption. . . .  This includes, but is definitely not limited to: GMO

Food crops; factory farming; global food distribution methods; seed
saving; 
heirloom seeds; the Agricultural/Medical/Industrial system . . . etc.) 
We 
are planning this panel as linked to a reading by the noted novelist,
Ruth 
Ozeki, author of M Year of Meats and All Over Creation. (See 
http://www.ruthozeki.com/ )  If you're interested, send an abstract and 
c.v. (attachments are fine) to me at this e-mail address.

Subject: SLS Paris - a question about registration

Hi all,

When I tried to register on the SLS-Paris website last week I 
couldn't access the website and today I am reading that the early 
registration fees ended on April 25. And apart from that 
disappointment I can't even register now because I get all sorts of 
errors that won't let me proceed. No matter what I enter it tells me 
that I have an invalid email, for instance.
Was anyone else more successful?

Thank you,
Antje
