The Northeast Modern Language Association celebrates its thirty-second year and will hold its annual convention in Hartford, Connecticut, 30-31 March 2001, at the Hyatt Regency Hotel. NEMLA remains the sole regional MLA to hold its convention in the spring. Central Connecticut State University will be the host institution, and Gilbert Gigliotti will chair the local arrangements committee. The keynote speech will be delivered by Joan Hendrick, author of the Pulitzer Prize-winning Harriet Beecher Stowe. Her talk, “The Politics of Literary Realism,” will examine the gendered nature of the realist movement.Any current NEMLA member may submit a panel proposal for the convention by completing a proposal form, available at our Web site. The convention committee reviews proposals received by 10 May and decides on acceptance. The 2001 Hartford convention offers eleven sessions with eighteen panels in each session. The call for papers will be shipped in late June to all current members and will be posted on our Web site. Abstracts or papers are sent directly to the session chairs for panel consideration and must be postmarked no later than 15 September; chairs must send their completed panels to the executive director no later than 1 October. By reciprocal agreement, PAMLA and NEMLA members may participate in the meetings of both associations.
