The third national conference of the National Coalition
of Independent Scholars will be hosted by the Princeton
Research Forum in Princeton, N.J. on May 3-5, 1996.
It will address the problem of pursuing scholarly research
in a time of epistomological crisis and theoretical
disarray. One session will include such topics as the
relationship of research to reality, the foundations of
scholarly discourse, theories of explanation, and the
influence of major theories and theorists. Another session
will be more personal, addressing such matters as scholarly
ethics, conflicts, and tensions, the PC debate, the scholar
in society, and the problems of adjunct teachers and gypsy
scholars. In addition, we welcome proposals on other topics
likely to be of interest to working scholars in a wide range
of fields, including the methods and implications of
scholarly research in cyberspace and the World Wide Web.
Abstracts are due by December 1, 1995 and should be sent
smail to the Princeton Research Forum, NCIS Conference, 301
N. Harrison St., Suite 222, Princeton, N.J. 08540. [do not
send by e-mail]
