>Date: Monday, January 10, 2000 10:40 PM >From: Donna L. Rowe <dr70@umail.umd.edu> Living Between Worlds: Women Writing in Exile This panel will explore contemporary women's writing from marginalized locations and/or positions of survival as the result of migration, war incarceration, and/or personal trauma. One of the intentions of this session is to define 'writing' broadly and bring together a mixture of papers that draw on women's literature, feminist ethnographies, women's autobiography, women's poetry, and personal narrative to address diverse racial, ethnic, gendered, sexual, classed, and religious experiences of exile in America. Possible topics include, but are not limited to: the relationship between globalization, postcolonialism and migration; feminist survival narratives; women writing in prison; women's diaspora narratives; women and religious exile; and global struggles for women's rights. Further research that addresses the relationship between women's writing and public policy reform, social justice, and social change are welcome. We are interested in producing a "talk format" session for the Detroit meeting (refer to September 1999 ASA Newsletter). For those of you interested, please send 200-300 word abstract VIA EMAIL by Friday, January 14, 2000 to: Donna Rowe dr70@umail.umd.edu American Studies Department, Univ. of Maryland College Park or to Barbara Shaw-Perry Email: bs86@umail.umd.edu Donna L.
