Newsletter
Cervantes Society of
America
|
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
As the academic year gets under way, we look forward to the '92-'93 cycle
of meetings and conferences. The Newsletter of the Cervantes Society is a
very appropriate place to announce any meetings of interest to the members
of the society. For this reason, and in response to inquiries about the frequency
and dates of publication of the Newsletter, we would like to suggest the
following information and (approximate) deadlines:
First, the Newsletter is usually published three times a year—fall,
winter, and spring. The deadlines for receipt of information for inclusion
in the Newsletter will be as follows:
(1) September 30th, for the fall newsletter;
(2) January 20th, for the winter edition; and
(3) April 30th, for the spring edition.
We prefer that you send any announcements or bibliographical information
to us in writing (rather than as a telephone message). Correspondence
may be sent to us at Denison by FAX: 614-587-6417. Please direct your FAX
to my attention on the cover sheet.
Concerning dues payments, we would like to remind you that the year number
(e.g., '91, '92, etc.) on your mailing label indicates the calendar year
up to and including which you have paid. If you find any discrepancy in that
date, please contact us directly. Also, you are cordially invited to pay
for additional, future years at the rate of $17 per year for individual regular
membership, $28 for couples, and $9 for students.
UPCOMING MEETINGS AND CONFERENCES:
Two important meetings will take place this December: the Fordham Cervantes
Lecture Series, 4-5 December, celebrating its 40th anniversary (see information
below), and the series of events organized by the CSA to take place at this
year's MLA convention (see information on the facing page).
