The twenty-seventh annual meeting of the Society for Utopian Studies will be held in Orlando, Florida, October 24-27, 2002 at the Four Points Sheraton Downtown. Founded in 1975, the Society 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 publishes the journal Utopian Studies and a newsletter, Utopus Discovered, which contains information about upcoming conferences and workshops, and a bibliography of recent publications in the field. The Society's annual meetings provide an ideal venue for intellectual interchange in a cooperative, non-competitive, congenial, and convivial environment. At each meeting the Society presents the Arthur O. Lewis Award for the best paper by a junior scholar given at the previous annual meeting and the Eugenio Battisti Award for the best article in each volume of our journal, Utopian Studies.
Membership in the Society includes announcements regarding the annual meeting, as well as subscriptions to Utopian Studies and Utopus Discovered. Dues are $45.00 for regular membership, $20.00 for students,
retired and unemployed, and $75.00 for libraries and institutions. One
