"Canadian Short Stories": This panel examines the works of Anglophone Canadian short story writers, such as as Alice Munro, Margaret Laurence, Gabrielle Roy, Carol Shields, and Margaret Atwood, among many others. Some of the questions to be addressed include: Is the short story a genre employed more frequently by female Canadian writers; if so, why? Do the short stories by these authors convey the notion of Canadianness? Other possible topics include: collections of linked stories, "flash fiction," influences among Canadian authors, or connections between an author's stories and novels. The panel welcomes proposals that examine the theme of Canadian short stories and Canadian short story writers. Interested participants should e-mail 350-500 word abstracts to Karen F. Stein by September 30, 2011 karen.whd@gmail.com
