I'm posting this for Thomas Erskine, whose URL is listed below. I'll
be one of the keynoters at this conference (with Pat Erens and Susan
Stutman), and I recommend Thailand as a fascinating and wonderful place to
visit--and air fares are under $1000. I'll be happy to answer questions, but
please contact Tom Erskine if you want to propose a paper or panel.
> CALL FOR PAPERS
> INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON FEMINISM AND GENDER ISSUES
>
>Bangkok, Thailand January 7-9, 1999 Radisson Hotel, Bangkok
>
>Sponsors: Srinakharinwirot University and Salisbury State University
>
>Due to the success of last year's conference (100 speakers from 15
countries), Srinakharinwirot University and Salisbury State University are
again sponsoring an international conference and invite papers on a wide
range of topics involving feminist and gender issues. Those papers with a
tie to the Pacific Rim are especially welcome. While the primary focus is on
literature, we are also interested in papers from other disciplines such as
film, American Studies, history, art, music dance, education, psychology,
etc., especially if they are interdisciplinary in nature. Questions about
the appropriateness of papers should be addressed to Dr. Thomas L. Erskine,
English Department, Salisbury State University, Salisbury, MD 21801;
410-543-6371 (O) or 410-742-7963 (H); fax 410-543-6068; e-mail:

>
>Panel presentations are especially welcome. Please list all speakers and
the chair, their academic affiliations, and the titles of their papers.
Abstracts should also be included.
>
>Since the abstracts of accepted papers will be published, abstract
(approximately 200 words in in Times New Roman 12 pts. font) and diskette
should be submitted to Dr. Thomas Erskine (see above address, phone and
e-mail information) by October 1, 1998. If the abstract is accepted, we will
also need a 50-word biography, which will also be published.
>
>The five-star Radisson Hotel in Bangkok will again be the conference hotel.
Because of the exchange rate situation in Thailand, this luxurious hotel
will be available at a low conference rate. Rates for singles and doubles
will be approximately $30.00 per day, including buffet breakfast, and should
conference participants (including families or friends) want to come early
or stay after the conference, that same rate will apply. Colleagues at
Srinakharinwirot will help arrange day tours for conference attendees and
those who accompany them.
>
>Registration, which includes two luncheon buffets and refreshment breaks,
will be $120 for full-time faculty, $80 for graduate students.
>
>Since Thailand is a popular vacation spot in January, let us encourage you
to submit abstracts promptly; and we will make prompt decisions about
acceptance. This will enable you to make early travel arrangements to
Thailand. Last year we found that airline reservations can be difficult to
come by at the last minute. Any questions about air travel or Thailand
should be referred to Dr. Erskine, who has spent quite a bit of time there
as a Fulbright Scholar and consultant.
