March 21-24, 2013
Boston, Massachusetts
Host Institution: Tufts University
This session seeks papers on 19th century women’s preoccupation with identity, self-preservation, and self-determination, focusing on the relationship between the text, the discourse and the narrator. For her days spent in hiding Jacobs said, ‘I would gladly forget them if I could.’ What kinds of access did women have to self preservation? How did they reveal their desire for self-determination? What was the meaning of ‘self-determination’ for Jacobs, Forten, Grimke, Truth? Send 450-word abstracts, and a brief bio-sketch to anadolu@temple.edu.
Deadline: September 30, 2011
Please include with your abstract:
Name and Affiliation

Interested participants may submit abstracts to more than one NeMLA session; however, panelists can only present one paper (panel or seminar). Convention participants may present a paper at a panel and also present at a creative session or participate in a roundtable. http://www.nemla.org/convention/2013/cfp.html
