1. "Music, Gender, and Globalization" conference Organizers: Samuel Dwinell and Anaar Desai-Stephens Keynotes/Speakers: --Olivia Bloechl (Department of Musicology, University of California, Los Angeles)
--Tejaswini Niranjana (Centre for the Study of Culture and Society, Bangalore)
--Tavia Nyong’o (Department of Performance Studies, New York University) Theme: What is the relationship between music, gender, and globalization? The recent “transnational turn” in both feminist and queer studies makes the case for thinking about gender and sexuality globally: of describing processes of globalization in ways that account for its fluxes, not only of capital, goods, and people, but also of categories of gender and sexuality.

This panel seeks papers that explore Jewish American women’s writing from the early 20th century to now and may include poets, fiction and non-fiction authors, and comic writers/artists. Papers can address individual authors, comparisons of works by several women, or comparisons across generations.

7. Northeast Modern Language Association Organizers: Keynotes/Speakers: Theme: As a genre, the short story cycle, or composite novel, has appealed for over 100 years to a wide range of American authors. The major characteristic of this genre is a collection of stories that are both interrelated and self-sufficient—what Madison Smartt Bell calls a “mosaic” quality that contributes to a holistic, yet fragmented “modular design.” While critical attention to this genre has focused mostly on matters of either form or content, scholars have not usually considered the form's effect on the text's content, particularly related to gender identity formation. The logical assumption might be that the short story cycle’s multiple perspectives, evolutions, and revolutions allow for a vivid illustration of gender performativity and fluidity, but is such an assumption accurate? Even though the terms are used interchangeably, can a genre or a gender be both cyclical and composite? Suggested Topics: Short story cycles of Sherman Alexie, Sherwood Anderson, Djuna Barnes, Raymond Carver, Louise Erdrich, William Faulkner, Ernest Hemingway, Amy Hempel, Henry James, Gloria Naylor, Sarah Orne Jewett, Tim O’Brien, Flannery O’Connor, Jean Toomer, and Eudora Welty, among others.
