The 26th Annual Meeting of the Society for Utopian
Studies will be held in Buffalo, New York. The Society for
Utopian Studies, founded in 1975, is an international,
interdisciplinary association devoted to the study of
utopianism in all its forms, with a particular emphasis on
literary and experimental utopias. Scholars representing
a wide variety of disciplines are active in the association
and approach utopian studies from such diverse
backgrounds as American Studies, Architecture, the Arts,
Classics, Cultural Studies, Economics, Engineering,
Environmental Studies, Gender Studies, History,
Languages and Literatures, Philosophy, Political Science,
Psychology, Sociology and Urban Planning.
The Society's annual meetings provide an ideal venue for
intellectual interchange in a cooperative, non-competitive,
congenial, and convivial environment. The twenty-sixth
annual meeting will be held in Buffalo, New York, October
4-7, 2001 at the Hyatt Regency Hotel. Buffalo will be
celebrating the Centennial of the 1901 Pan American
Exposition. There will be many events in the city
commemorating the world's fair and its tribute to
technology and culture, critiquing many of the values and
intentions that guided the 1901 Exposition, and searching
for the vision that will make the next century. We also
plan a visit to one of the world's most famous utopian
spaces, Niagara Falls. Come and join us!
