>Date: Thursday, December 09, 1999 3:11 AM >From: Barbara L SHAW <Barbara_L_SHAW@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. I am 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 by January 10, 2000 to: Barbara Shaw-Perry Email: bs86@umail.umd.edu Postal: American Studies Department Taliaferro Hall University of Maryland, College Park College Park, MD 20742 Barbara L SHAW <Barbara_L_SHAW@umail.umd.edu>
